Fluoride Varnish Applications: For patients with a lot of decay, dentists may recommend extra fluoride in form of a varnish, and for patients over 10 years of age, toothpastes with 2800ppm fluoride may be prescribed. For patients over 16 with high decay rates 5000ppm toothpaste may be prescribed.

Fissure Sealants: Fissures are grooves usually found in the chewing surface of back teeth. They are difficult to keep clean so there is more risk of decay. Fissures can be sealed with resin to protect them.

Preventive Resin Restorations: These restorations are carried out if there is any early sign of decay and the risk of further decay progression is high, it’s a simple procedure where early decay in the top layer of the tooth is removed and is sealed with a composite resin.
