Sealants

Because some people are more prone to infections or cavities, some dentists will recommend sealants as a solution. Dental sealants are a thin film of polymer that is painted over the chewing surface of the teeth, and hardens to protect them from wear or from future tooth decay. Dental sealants are a great option for children, as their teeth can be more prone to an infection or to loss of enamel structure. The procedure involved with applying the sealants is fast and painless, only taking a few minutes to allow the formula to dry properly. Sealants are a great way to protect your teeth and are extremely simple to implement. Ask your dentist at your next visit if you think you might be a candidate for sealants.
