What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your teeth. These areas often have deep grooves and pits that are difficult to clean with regular brushing and flossing, making them more susceptible to plaque buildup and decay. The sealant acts as a shield, preventing food particles and bacteria from settling in these hard-to-reach areas.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
To fully explore the benefits of dental sealants for your smile, consult with our Jacksonville dentists during your next appointment.
Dental sealants offer several advantages:
- Cavity Prevention: By sealing off vulnerable areas, sealants help prevent decay from forming.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Sealants can last for several years with proper care, offering durable defense against cavities.
- Quick and Painless: The application process is fast, easy, and completely non-invasive, making it ideal for children and adults alike.
- Cost-Effective: Sealants are an affordable preventive measure that can save you from more expensive treatments in the future.
Who Should Get Dental Sealants?
Dental sealant treatment is especially beneficial for children and teenagers, whose molars and premolars are more prone to cavities. However, adults with no prior decay or fillings in these teeth can also benefit from sealants.
