Regular brushing and flossing help remove plaque and food particles from the smooth tooth surfaces but are not as efficient while cleaning the vulnerable areas like grooves, pits, and fissures present on the tooth surface. 75% of the decay starts from these hard-to-clean areas where food particles and plaque lay entrapped. A dental sealant is a thin protective coating that is painted on the chewing surfaces of molars and pre-molars to seal off the depressions and grooves and gives a smooth finishing to teeth. Dental sealants form a protective shield on the tooth enamel and can protect them for decay for years if regularly checked for chips and cracks.
Dental sealants have numerous benefits and the most significant ones are listed below:
Dental sealants will be applied on your teeth by either your dentist or a dental hygienist. The process is not time-consuming and requires only a few minutes per tooth. Dental sealants can be easily applied in the following five steps.
Proper oral health care and a healthy balanced diet combined with regular visits to Bliss Dentistry of Campbell will help maintain your dental sealants.
