The Benefits of Dental Sealants
With proper brushing and flossing habits at home, you can prevent cavities and other oral health issues from developing. However, certain patients need extra help to keep their teeth healthy and clean. This is where sealants come in! Dental sealants are thin, plastic coatings applied to teeth’ chewing surfaces. Dental sealants are a preventive dental treatment that protects teeth from cavities, decay, and other oral health issues. They act as a barrier that protects the tooth’s chewing surface and helps to keep away food particles that can cause decay. At Brightworks Dentistry, they are most commonly used on the molars because they are the most susceptible to decay. Sealants can be applied quickly and easily in a dental office. They are an inexpensive way to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
