Dental sealants can play an important role in helping to prevent tooth decay in some locations on your teeth.

The placement of dental sealants involves your dentist bonding a plastic coating into the grooves of your tooth. The net result is a smoother tooth surface, one which is less likely to trap food and plaque and that is easier to clean with your toothbrush.  Dental sealants are placed on children once their adult molars erupt. They are maintained throughout adolescence at their dental cleaning appointments.

Both hygienists and assistants on our team can place the sealants to help prevent decay.
