Dental sealants are very effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of the teeth you chew with. They’re a simple procedure in which acrylic and the tooth-colored coating are painted onto a tooth’s surface. This process effectively seals the deep grooves, serving as a border that protects enamel from plaque and acids.
Dental Sealants
Brushing and flossing can’t reach every food and plaque particle. That’s where sealants come in to protect all the depressions and grooves of your teeth, even the areas that are unreachable by common cleaning methods.
Sealants are easy to apply and only require a few minutes to seal each tooth. Sealants can last several years before a reapplication is needed, mainly because they hold up well under the stresses of normal everyday chewing.
In the fight against tooth decay, both children and adults can benefit from sealants. Our staff and family members have most likely asked us already to seal their teeth to prevent tooth decay. Let us help you in doing the same.
