Dental Sealants

Highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces ofchewing teeth of childrenand young adults, dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic “coating” is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively “seals” the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids.



Children can benefit from sealants in the fight against tooth decay. Olderadults usually require fillings rather than sealants, but each patient is evaluated individually.
