Even careful brushing may not clean all the grooves and contours of the back teeth. As bacteria and acids build up, plaque forms and eventually decay occurs. Once there is decay in a tooth, it will need a filling.
There is a way to help lessen the chances of decay. Dental sealants add protection to the surface of teeth. The treatment is quick and easy.
The back teeth are cleaned, then sterilized. A light coating of the sealant is applied to each tooth. It is transparent and not visible. A curing light is used to bond the sealant to the tooth. This whole procedure takes only a few minutes. No shot or drills are needed, and none of the tooth structure is removed. It is a very effective preventive measure for children’s and adolescents’ teeth.
