The processes behind dental sealants are simple. Dental sealants work like a fortification that is placed atop your teeth to seal them and provide a shield-like protective barrier against plaque buildup and harmful acids capable of eating through tooth enamel. Additional benefits of dental sealants include:
– The risk of tooth decay in your mouth can diminish by 80% with dental sealants.
– Sealants can be placed in children as young as six; they are most beneficial for molars, which usually grow in by the time a child is six years of age. They can ensure children are 3 times better protected from cavities.
– These can shield your teeth by ensuring harmful acids in your mouth cannot penetrate your tooth enamel.
– A single dental sealant can ensure long-lasting protection for years before they may need to be reapplied or replaced.
Dental sealants are not detrimental for the look of your teeth, as they are clear and will not change the natural look of your smile. If you would like to discuss a dental sealant treatment with Dr. Jordan Risinger and the rest of our team, please schedule an appointment to come see us at our dentist office in Athens, Texas.
