Dental Sealants: Effective Protection Against Tooth Decay at Ardent Dental , North Vancouver
Prevent Cavities with Sealants for Long-Lasting Oral HealthAt Ardent Dental Lynn Valley in North Vancouver, we offer dental sealants as an effective preventive measure against tooth decay. Sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back molars, which are most at risk of decay. By creating a smooth surface over the fissured areas of the teeth, sealants protect against decay by keeping food particles and germs out of the grooves.
Key Benefits of Dental Sealants
- Protection from Decay: Sealants provide a barrier that prevents food and bacteria from settling in the grooves of the teeth.
- Early Application: Sealants are most effective when applied soon after the molars erupt, typically around 6 years of age for the first molars and 12 years for the second molars.
- Invisibility: Sealants are usually clear or white and are not readily visible on the teeth.
Comprehensive Oral Health
When used alongside fluoride treatments and a healthy oral hygiene routine, sealants can significantly reduce the risk of cavities in adult teeth.
