How does the VELscope work?

VELscope technology is revolutionizing oral mucosal exams and goes well beyond the limits of conventional oral checkups. It allows our dentist in Sofia to observe the oral cavity in amazing depth, making it easier to identify potentially hazardous areas that would not be detectable in an ordinary dental visit.

The examination takes approximately two minutes, does not inflict pain or discomfort onto the patient, and is completely safe. During the process, a bright blue light will emit from the VELscope machine illuminating the differences between healthy tissue and traumatized and diseased tissue. If we find questionable areas, such as traces of biting or an injury that often results from wearing braces, the patient will remain under observation until the next checkup.

If the condition persists, our dentist in Sofia will take a biopsy. If the biopsy results indicate the formation of precancerous or nacreous material, we will discuss all of your treatment options with you.

Fortunately, the early diagnosis of oral cancer can lead to extremely positive results. It is a very important to undergo this test as a preventive measure at least once a year, or as often as every six months, especially if you smoke.

How Are Dental Sealants Applied?

Our dental clinics abroad apply sealants in an easy three-step process, rendering drilling and tooth removal unnecessary. Our Sofia dental specialist will first clean the patient’s tooth with a special toothpaste. Second, he or she will rub a special cleansing liquid on the tooth with a cotton ball and then rinse it off. Lastly, the sealant is painted on the root, and takes approximately a minute to dry and form a protective shield.

Who Needs Sealants?

Everyone, but especially kids to help prevent cavities from an early age. In child development, permanent molars arrive around the age of 6. Placing sealants on these teeth shortly after they come out helps kids avoid developing cavities in areas where food and bacteria collect. If proper dental care is practiced and sealants are applied routinely to susceptible tooth surfaces in conjunction with the appropriate use of fluoride, most tooth decay in children can be prevented.

How Do You Place Sealants?
1. Use a diagnostic laser to check for possible cavities.
2. Dentist will determine if ozone therapy should be applied to the tooth.
3. Application of liquid sealant to the tooth. After a few minutes, a thin, protective coat forms over the tooth.

Do the Child’s Teeth Feel Differently?

Like anything new placed in the mouth, sealants can be felt with your tongue. The child may detect a slight change, but sealants are all constructed of very thin material, and only cover the hollow of the tooth.

How Durable Are Sealants?

Dental sealants can last up to 10 years, but you should have checkups every six to eight months in order to prevent and repair chips or cracks.
