Prevention Dental Care with Dental Sealants

Preventing Child Tooth Decay - the Easy Way!

Dental sealants compensate for the fact that children often don't do a very good job of brushing their teeth. They try hard, but even adults have difficulties reaching the deep grooves in the back teeth. Sealants protect teeth from bacteria, acid, and plaque formation, which often lead to decay. And, we know, once the tooth has decay, it is damaged permanently and will need a filling or crown. 

Here's how dental sealants work. The tooth (or teeth) is cleaned and sterilized. A thin plastic coating, which is normally white or clear in color, is applied. A curing light is directed at the sealant to bond it into place. Without drills, shots, or the removal of any tooth structure, the entire procedure is complete in just a few minutes. 

Applying dental sealants is one of the most proactive procedures available that both children and adolescents can have done to preserve their natural teeth!
