Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a dental procedure that helps prevent tooth decay. Our back teeth naturally have grooves that can become traps for food that are hard to thoroughly clean with regular shutterstock_171440846brushing.

When food is trapped in the grooves, it can lead to decay, eventually requiring a filling or even more invasive reconstructive procedures such as root canals. To prevent that, your dentist will sometimes suggest a sealant. Sealants are generally resin-based and are virtually undetectable to the naked eye. They fill in the groove in the tooth, creating a smooth surface that food isn’t easily trapped in, which is much easier to clean.

Sealants are often used for children that are at higher risk of tooth decay.
