Sealants

By regularly brushing and flossing, we’re trying our best to prevent tooth decay and cavities, which in turn prevents paying for and making additional trips to the dentist. But our teeth are all unique, and they’re all very complex. There are tons of nooks and small spaces in and between our teeth, especially on the chewing surfaces. Even with great dental habits, it’s difficult to make sure every single tiny space is clean and bacteria-free every single day.

This is especially true for children, who tend to be more prone to cavities in their critical stages of growth. In order to combat cavities, you may want to discuss sealants with the 425 Dental team. Ideal for children and teens, the process involves covering the chewing surfaces of teeth with a resin and quickly sealing it, creating a protective layer over the teeth.
