Sealants represent a widely utilized preventive dental treatment. Certain teeth possess tiny grooves or pits that can trap plaque, not due to inadequate brushing, but because these spaces are too narrow for bristles to reach effectively. Consequently, plaque build-up can lead to cavities and various forms of tooth decay. To apply sealants, we coat the tooth with a protective plastic material that fills in these tight grooves, effectively blocking the accumulation of harmful substances. This process enhances the potential for maintaining healthy teeth. The advantages of sealants are numerous: Decay protection - Sealants create a barrier over the tooth's crevices, significantly lowering the chances of cavities and decay. Minimized future procedures - They act as a proactive measure to prevent future dental issues, reducing the need for fillings or root canals. Quick and gentle: The process of applying sealants is fast, painless, and non-invasive, offering protection for your teeth for years to come.
"Welcoming, professional and respectful of patients levels of anxiety/ and distress regarding dental procedures. The staff takes excellent care in the comfort of patients. Questions are answered respectfully. Warmth and concern are expressed approximately. This is a practice that builds relationships between professional staff and their patients- who are not just “passing through” but are part of the practice- which is not so large that one feels like a number- not an individual."
