Dental Sealants Carrollton
Protect Your Teeth from Decay
Research confirms that when molars are sealed, they are 90% less likely to develop cavities on the chewing surfaces. That’s great news for parents and kids! What’s more, when children enter adulthood with few or no restored teeth, they are much less likely to have serious dental problems in the future. Protecting your or your child’s teeth with dental sealants in Carrollton is a gift that can last a lifetime.

Do You Need Dental Sealants?
The molar teeth in the back of the mouth have deep grooves that enable us to chew food. A toothbrush can skim across these surfaces, but it is often difficult to clean thoroughly inside the narrow grooves. Bacteria often accumulate in those areas, resulting in the formation of cavities that destroy valuable tooth structure permanently and without warning.
To protect chewing surfaces of molars, our hygienist begins by gently cleaning the grooves. Then, they apply a clear sealant over the top of the tooth that fills the grooves. This is hardened with an activating light, and the overall process only takes a few minutes. This protective measure against cavities may need to be replaced periodically.
Remember that dental sealants are possible only on teeth that have no decay. So, we advise parents to consider this valuable tooth-saving procedure as soon as their child’s permanent molars emerge.
