Your Mississauga Choice for Dental Sealant!
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants provide protection for your teeth by keeping plaque from forming in the tiny crevices of the chewing surfaces. Sealants are often recommended for children because their teeth have small depressions in them that make them harder to properly clean through brushing alone. Sealants coat these small indentations, forming a protective layer against plaque and decay.
Why Are Sealants Important?
Dental sealants are an effective preventative measure against cavities and tooth decay. They can be especially helpful if your child has a weakness for sweets and/or a hard time sticking to good dental cleaning habits. Sealants have been shown to reduce cavities by up to 80 percent and can last up to 10 years.
What is the Process of Applying Dental Sealants?
The process of applying sealants is short, easy, and does not require drilling or the removal of any tooth structure. After teeth are cleaned, a special gel is placed on the chewing surfaces for a few seconds. Each tooth is then washed and dried before the sealant is painted on. Typically, we also shine a special curing light on the tooth to help harden the sealant for best results.
