Sealants

Thorough brushing & flossing help remove food particles and plaque from smooth surfaces of teeth. Pits & fissures, however, are places that are extremely difficult to clean. Most cavities form in these pits and fissure areas, and permanent molars are extremely susceptible to this form of decay. Sealants protect these vulnerable areas by “sealing out” plaque and food.

Sealants are easy to apply and it takes only a few minutes to seal each tooth. The teeth to be sealed are cleaned, conditioned and then painted with the sealants. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and will be checked during regular dental visits.
