Effective Protection with Dental Sealants at Only Smiles Family Dental
Dental sealants are a preventive treatment we offer at Only Smiles Family Dental to protect teeth against decay, especially in hard-to-clean areas.
What Are Dental Sealants and Who Needs Them?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars). They are particularly beneficial for:
- Children and teenagers who are more prone to cavities
- Adults with deep grooves in their molars
- Anyone looking for extra protection against tooth decay
How Do Dental Sealants Work?
Dental sealants work by:
- Forming a protective shield over the enamel of each tooth
- Preventing food particles and bacteria from getting into the grooves and depressions of teeth
- Reducing the risk of decay and cavities in treated teeth
How Long Do Dental Sealants Last?
Dental sealants are durable and can last for:
- Several years under the force of normal chewing
- Regular check-ups can help ensure they remain intact and effective
- They can be reapplied if necessary
