Dental Sealants | For Cavity Prevention

While brushing and flossing at home are essential parts of oral care, some areas of our teeth are still vulnerable to cavities, especially the deep grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of our back teeth. To provide extra protection, dental sealants are a highly effective preventive measure. Sealants are a thin, protective coating that bonds to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, acting as a barrier against food particles, plaque, and bacteria.

Sealants work by covering these vulnerable areas, helping to prevent plaque buildup and tooth decay. Plaque is an invisible, sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth when we eat and drink. Left untreated, plaque can lead to cavities, especially in hard-to-clean areas. With sealants, the chewing surfaces stay protected, reducing the risk of decay over time.
