What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a preventative dental treatment offered at ConfiDent Smile Studio, designed to protect teeth from decay. Dr. Ken and Dr. Powell apply a thin, protective coating made of a plastic material to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). This coating effectively seals the deep grooves and depressions on these surfaces, creating a barrier against plaque and food particles that are hard to reach with brushing and flossing alone.
The Benefits of Dental Sealants
Dental sealants provide a simple and effective way to prevent cavities in molars and premolars, where most chewing occurs and where decay is most likely to develop. Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers who are at a higher risk of developing cavities, but adults can benefit from them as well. By protecting these vulnerable areas, dental sealants help to maintain oral health, reduce the need for fillings and other restorative treatments and ultimately save time and money.
