Would like to know the benefits that dental sealants can offer? Did you know that dental sealants are safe for almost any age beginning at six when a child’s first set of molars begin to grow in? Dental sealants work by attaching directly to your tooth enamel for an additional layer of protection.
A dental sealant can lower your risk of tooth decay in your wonderful set of molars by 80%. Cavities work by burrowing through tooth enamel until the hole reaches your root. Sealants stop the decay in its tracks and resist even the most harmful types of decay including acids that can eat through our enamel. Sealants last up to a decade and can easily be repaired or reapplied as necessary.
Children are three times less likely to develop cavities if they have sealants in place. They are proven safe and can be used for multiple teeth. Sealants can protect your child’s teeth safely and efficiently without sacrificing their smile’s aesthetics.
