Children can benefit from having their teeth polished. The hygienist can also apply fluoride varnishes to help prevent decay. The permanent (or ‘adult') back teeth can also benefit from having the biting surfaces sealed. This is done by applying a special plastic coating to the biting surface soon after the teeth come through.
