sealants

Dental sealants are a simple, preventative treatment designed to help protect the deep grooves and fissures of your back teeth, where food and plaque can easily collect and be difficult to remove with regular brushing.
 
A sealant is a thin, tooth-coloured protective material that is applied to the grooves of the tooth, creating a smoother surface that is easier to keep clean. This can help reduce the risk of tooth decay developing in these hard-to-reach areas.
Sealants are often recommended for children and teenagers soon after their permanent molars have erupted, but adults may also benefit depending on their individual risk of tooth decay.
 
The procedure is quick, comfortable and requires no drilling. Your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss whether dental sealants are suitable for you or your child.
