Rather than taking chances with poor oral health care, make sure you are using reliable restoration treatment tools, including procedures that can improve your smile so that dental damage cannot occur. If you’re looking to protect the surface of your teeth, consider the use of dental sealants.
Dental sealants are highly effective against tooth decay. Dental sealants are mostly used to protect the chewing surfaces of teeth as they are applied to the chewing surfaces to provide an additional layer of protection. With a dental sealant in place, damage to your teeth in the form of tooth decay is reduced by as much as 80%. Furthermore, they can often last up to a decade before a replacement may be required.
Dental sealants are safe for children and can be applied as soon as a child’s first molar begins to grow in. Because molars are often susceptible to cavities, dental filling applications are highly beneficial for children who tend to be at the greatest risk of cavities. A single dental sealant can lower a child’s risk for cavities threefold on a protective tooth.
