Preventive Sealants
Preventive sealants, also known as dental sealants, are thin plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to protect them from decay. These teeth have deep pits and grooves where food particles and bacteria can accumulate, making them more susceptible to cavities.
Preventive sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent cavities. These teeth have grooves and pits where bacteria and food particles can easily accumulate, making them more susceptible to decay. Sealants create a smooth surface over these areas, preventing plaque buildup and reducing the risk of cavities. The application process is quick and painless, involving cleaning and drying the teeth, applying an acidic solution to roughen the surface, and then painting on the sealant material, which bonds to the tooth and hardens. Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers, but adults can also benefit from this preventive measure. With proper oral hygiene, sealants can provide long-lasting protection against tooth decay. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of the sealants and reapply them if necessary.
- The cost of dental sealants varies depending on factors such as the number of teeth treated and the dental provider’s fees.
- Many dental insurance plans cover the cost of sealants for children and teenagers, as they are recognized as an effective preventive measure for reducing the risk of cavities.
Preventive sealants are a valuable tool in the fight against tooth decay, especially for children and teenagers. By providing a protective barrier on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, sealants help maintain optimal oral health and reduce the need for more extensive dental treatments in the future. If you or your child are at risk of cavities, talk to your dentist about whether sealant treatment is right for you.
