Dental Insurance Kids, Suffering From Dental Fluorosis
There are a few treatments options for Fluorosis such as porcelain laminate veneers, enamel microabrasion, and direct composite veneers.
1) Porcelain Laminate Veneers: In this procedure, less than 1 millimeter of the front surface of the tooth is shaved away. The dentist takes an impression, and then a dental lab makes a veneer that looks great and fits perfectly into the spot that was shaved away by the dentist.
2) Enamel Microabrasion is the In this method of fluorosis treatment, the dentist treats the tooth with acid and then sands away a tiny layer of enamel off of the tooth using pumice.
3) Direct Composite Veneers. This procedure is similar to the porcelain laminate veneers mentioned above. However, after shaving down the front of your teeth, the dentist doesn’t take an impression to send to the lab. The dentist simply repairs the tooth using white composite filling material.
