Dental Sealants Help Protect Teeth for Both Children and Adults
What Are Dental Sealants?
Why Are Sealants Important?
Dental sealants are an effective preventive measure against cavities and tooth decay. They can be especially helpful if your child enjoys sweets or has difficulty maintaining good oral hygiene habits. Sealants have been shown to reduce cavities by up to 80% and can last up to 10 years.
We Can Easily Apply Sealants During Your Next Visit
The process of applying sealants is short, easy, and does not require drilling or the removal of any tooth structure. After the teeth are cleaned, a special gel is placed on the chewing surfaces for a few seconds. Each tooth is then washed and dried before the sealant is painted on. Typically, we also shine a special curing light on the tooth to help harden the sealant.
