Dental Sealants

What are Dental Sealants?

• Highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic “coating” is painted onto the surface of the tooth.
• Sealants effectively “seals” the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids.
• Sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can’t reach.
• Easy to apply, sealants take only a few minutes to seal each tooth. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed.

Children and adults can benefit from sealants in the fight against tooth decay.
