Dental Sealants

Dental sealants can be placed to protect your teeth from cavities. Dental sealants are placed by applying a resin coating and bonding it to the chewing surfaces of the teeth to act as a barrier against bacteria left on teeth from plaque and food. Generally, dental sealants are placed on children's teeth as soon as their teeth erupt. Dental sealants are also highly recommended in teenagers and adults to prevent cavities on teeth that have not yet been filled or decayed.
