Sealants
Highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored composite "coating" is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively "seals" the deep grooves acting as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids.
Sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can't reach. Additionally, sealants contain fluoride that will release into the tooth creating a denser, less permeable surface, protecting each tooth from bacterial infection/cavities.
Easy to apply, sealants take only a few minutes to seal each tooth. Sealants hold
up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed. Children and adults can benefit from sealants in the fight against tooth decay.
