Sealants are a common preventive treatment in dentistry. Some teeth
have fine grooves or pits that accumulate plaque, not because the
person doesn't brush, but because the grooves are too narrow to
allow even one bristle into them. When plaque accumulates, it can
lead to cavities and other types of tooth decay. To apply sealants,
a plastic material is brushed onto the tooth, filling these narrow
grooves and preventing the cavity-causing buildup. Sealants make
healthy teeth possible.
The benefits of sealants
include: Protection against decay - Sealants effectively seal off
the crevices of the teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and decay.
Reduced future treatments - They serve as a proactive
step in preventing the need for future dental treatments, such as
fillings or root canals.
Safe and painless: The
application of sealants is a quick, painless, and non-invasive
procedure that helps protect your teeth for many years.
