Dental sealants are a highly effective method for preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth. This procedure involves painting a tooth-colored acrylic coating onto the surface of the tooth, which seals the deep grooves and acts as a barrier against plaque and acids.

Sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing might miss. By sealing these areas, sealants help preserve the enamel and prevent cavities.

Applying sealants is quick and easy, taking only a few minutes per tooth. The coating holds up well under normal chewing forces and can last several years before needing reapplication.

Both children and adults can benefit from dental sealants in the fight against tooth decay. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact our office today.
