What Is It?
Dental sealants are a protective and preventive measure that helps fight cavities and tooth decay. When you come in for sealant treatment, our dentists begin by thoroughly cleaning your teeth. A liquid coating is then applied to your teeth, which quickly hardens to form a protective barrier.
Your teeth have natural grooves and pits that bacteria and debris love to hide in. These areas can be difficult to keep clean, even with daily brushing and flossing. With dental sealants, however, your teeth can be protected against the buildup of harmful bacteria.
With the right care, your new sealants can provide continuous protection for many years. It is possible for dental sealants to chip, at which time you may simply come in for another application.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Dental sealants are a quick and easy treatment option that is safe for patients aged five and up. We can apply a sealant to a single tooth in just a few minutes. After you leave your appointment, you may eat and drink whatever you like as you enjoy the protective benefits of your new dental sealants.
To ensure that you are maintaining optimal oral health and hygiene, call us today so we can schedule you for sealant treatment. With this safe and effective procedure, you can look forward to fighting cavities and enjoying healthier teeth.
