Reduction of the risk of cavities after sealant application
“Preventing is always better than treating: sealants are an invisible shield that protects children's teeth.”
Dra. Filipa Fernandes
Scaling and sealants treatment
Scaling and sealant application are preventive treatments that provide additional protection against cavities and gum inflammation in children.
The careful removal of tartar prevents inflammation, while sealants act as a protective barrier on the chewing surfaces of the teeth, where brushing is not always effective.
Scaling and sealants treatment at GSC Dental Clinic
At Gambelas Smile Clinic, this treatment is performed in a comfortable and educational environment, by paediatric dentists who explain each step in a way adapted to the child. The use of innovative technology, such as digital radiology and intraoral scanner, guarantees precision in diagnosis and effectiveness in application.
With this approach, paediatric dental appointments stop being just prevention moments and become positive experiences.
Thus, we manage to combine health and aesthetics, and prevent future complications, with the confidence that healthy habits accompany the child throughout life.

Examination of the mouth to identify tartar, bacterial plaque and cavity risk.
Gentle scaling

Tooth preparation
Cleaning and drying of the tooth surface before sealant application.
Sealant application
Placement of flowable resin in the molar fissures, hardened with special light.
Final check
