Dental Sealants
A thin protective coating applied to back teeth to shield enamel from decay-causing bacteria and acids.
A thin, protective plastic coating bonded into the grooves of back teeth to seal out food and bacteria and prevent cavities before they start.
The chewing surfaces of back teeth are cleaned and dried, a liquid sealant is painted into the grooves, and a curing light is used to harden it into a durable protective layer.
Significantly reduces the risk of cavities in back teeth, protecting enamel during the years when decay is most likely to develop.
