Dental Sealants

Dental sealants in combination with a healthy diet, good oral hygiene, regular cleanings and fluoride treatments can greatly reduce cavities in children.

Today we have better diet, oral hygiene habits, fluoride and dental sealants to thank for the reduced amount of cavities in children.

Dental sealants are applied to teeth, especially molars with large crevices where bacteria can accumulate and cause cavities. The sealant fills in the crevices forming a barrier to protect the tooth surface.
