Understanding Dental Sealants: Shielding Teeth from Decay

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings made of safe and durable materials that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth often have deep grooves and pits that are susceptible to trapping food particles and bacteria, leading to tooth decay.

The sealant acts as a barrier, sealing off these vulnerable areas and preventing bacteria and food particles from accumulating. By providing an additional layer of protection, sealants reduce the risk of cavities and promote optimal oral health.

2. Preventive Approach: At 208 Dental, we believe in the power of prevention. Dental sealants are a proactive and non-invasive method to safeguard your child's teeth against cavities. By applying sealants at an early age, we can provide long-lasting protection and help your child maintain a healthy smile.
3. Quick and Painless Procedure: The application of dental sealants is a straightforward and painless process. It involves cleaning and preparing the teeth, applying a thin layer of sealant, and allowing it to bond to the tooth surface. The entire procedure is fast and can be completed during a regular dental visit.
