Dental sealants are often applied to the molars of younger patients to help provide an additional safety net of protection to help prevent cavities. It is a painless procedure in which a thin layer of sealant is applied to the holes of your teeth to prevent bacteria and acid from permeating the tooth. Generally, sealants have been proven to reduce the risk of decay by nearly 80% in molars and are especially important for children as their molars develop between the ages of 6 and 12.
Dental sealants are a great idea for anyone who wants an extra layer of protection from tooth decay. Sealants last for several years before needing to be reapplied but usually, as patients grow older they are less necessary. While more common in children, almost everyone can benefit from dental sealants. Book an appointment today and find out if dental sealants can help you maintain your oral health.
