Dental Sealants Can Protect Your Smile

Dental sealants are an effective, easy, and budget-friendly way to protect your smile – for life. They are applied to premolars and molars and offer a high level of protection for up to 10 years against tooth decay and cavities.

There are many additional benefits associated with dental sealants, including their ability to:

• Protect against gum disease
• Make brushing and flossing easier
• Save money on dental bills in the short and long term
• Minimize a patient's need for complex and costly dental restorations.

Who is a candidate for dental sealants?

Sealants are most often recommended for children and adolescents, as their teeth are still developing and they are more prone to cavities. However, adults can also benefit from utilizing dental sealants on their molars and premolars in many cases.

How should someone care for their teeth once sealants have been placed?
