Sealants

Dental Sealants

Dental Sealants prevent tooth decay. They are a thin coating, painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth. The liquid sealant creates protection over each tooth’s enamel by instantly binding into the teeth’ grooves and depressions, protecting enamel from plaque and acids by acting as a shield. Even thorough brushing can remove food particles and plaque from smooth surfaces of teeth; even then, they cannot reach every possible area. The sealants protect them from decay by sealing out these sensitive areas from plaque and food particles. Dental Sealants can last up to a decade or so, but they need to be checked for wearing and damage at regular check-ups.
