Protect your teeth from cavities with dental sealants at Keller Crossing Dentistry. Dr. Chiyuan Chen and our team offer this simple, effective treatment to safeguard your smile, especially for younger patients or those prone to tooth decay.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars). These areas are particularly vulnerable to cavities due to their grooves and pits, which can trap food particles and bacteria. Sealants create a barrier, making it easier to maintain healthy teeth.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
Dental sealants offer numerous advantages, including:
- Effective cavity prevention for both children and adults.
- Long-lasting protection when combined with good oral hygiene.
- A painless, non-invasive application process.
How We Use Sealants in Preventive Care
Sealants are often paired with other preventive treatments, such as fluoride applications and regular dental cleanings and exams. Our dentist may recommend sealants for children as their permanent molars emerge or for adults seeking added protection against cavities.
