Sealants are highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surface of your chewing teeth, dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic “coating” is painted onto the surface of the tooth.
Dental sealants effectively “seal” deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids.
Dental sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can’t reach.
Dental sealants take only a few minutes to apply to the tooth. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed.
