Dental Sealants
Protect your teeth from decay with dental sealants. Sealants are a safe and effective way to prevent cavities, especially in the back teeth, where decay often starts.
How It Works
A thin coating is applied to the grooves of your teeth to seal out bacteria and food particles.
The Benefits
Long-lasting protection against cavities for both children and adults.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars). These teeth have deep grooves where food and bacteria can easily get trapped, making them more susceptible to cavities. Sealants provide an extra layer of protection by sealing these grooves, preventing bacteria from causing decay. The process is quick, painless, and highly effective for both children and adults.
