Minimally invasive dentistry (MID) focuses on treating tooth infections without removing tooth structures. MID comprehensively encompasses prevention, diagnosis, and treatment approaches.

If your child is exposed to cavities, some of the MID treatments that they can benefit from include;

• Fluoride Varnish
Fluoride varnish is a highly concentrated form of fluoride professionally applied to teeth to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride varnish doesn’t cause staining and is pain-free.

• Guided Enamel Regeneration
Guided enamel regeneration treats caries which is the initial stage of tooth decay.

• Povidone-Iodine
Povidone-iodine is another brush-on therapy that treats cavities that are quite advanced.

• Therapeutic fillings and sealants
Therapeutic fillings and sealants offer the same benefits as regular fillings and sealants except that they are brushed onto teeth.
