Sealant acts as a barrier...

A sealant is a clear shaded plastic material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (premolars
and molars), where decay occurs most often. This sealant acts as a barrier, protecting the decay prone areas of the tooth from plaque and acid.Each tooth only takes a few minutes to seal.

Children receive significant benefits from sealants, adults can also be at risk for pit and fissure decay and thus be candidates for sealants. Sealants are also recommended even for those who receive topical applications of fluoride and who live in communities with fluoridated water.

When the sealant is applied, finger-like strands penetrate the pits and fissures of the tooth enamel. Although the sealant cannot be seen with the naked eye, the protective effect of these strands continues. As a result, it may be several years before another application of sealant is needed. Reapplication of the sealants will continue the protection against decay and may save the time and expense of having a tooth restored. Sealants will be checked during regular dental visits to determine if reapplication is necessary.

With the sealant deep within the pits and grooves of the enamel surface, normal eating habits can be maintained. Twice a day brushing is very important to maximize the benefits of the sealants.

DRUG teeth staining

Tetracycline is an antibiotic that is effective against many infections and used sometimes to treat Acne, urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, etc.
Taking Tetracycline during pregnancy affects the development of the bone and the teeth in the developing baby. As Tetracycline has a negative effect on the calcification process in the bone and the teeth, this result in the baby teeth being discoloured and the permanent teeth suffering from enamel hypoplasia (incomplete development of the enamel).
The critical period for calcification begins at the fourth month of pregnancy and ends twelve months after birth. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid taking the drug after the sixteenth week in the pregnancy and throughout the breast-feeding period.
Whitening could improve the appearance of your teeth but is often not enough to reach the desired result. Covering the teeth with crowns or veneers is preferable is the right choice of treatment.
Make sure you inform you dentist or doctor that you are pregnant before taking any medication.
