We are committed to preventing dental decay through innovative solutions like dental sealants in Alpharetta, Georgia. Sealants are a simple yet effective treatment designed to protect teeth from decay, especially for children and teenagers, though adults can benefit from them as well.
Understanding Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars), where most cavities in children are found. This preventive measure helps to keep cavities at bay by sealing out food particles and plaque. Here is how they work:
- Cavity Prevention: Sealants cover the deep grooves and depressions in tooth surfaces, preventing food particles and bacteria from getting trapped.
- Easy Application: The process is quick, painless and non-invasive. Sealant material is applied and quickly hardens to form a protective shield.
- Long-lasting Protection: With proper oral hygiene, sealants can protect teeth for up to 10 years from decay.
