Sealants help to protect your child’s teeth from decay
Tooth decay can develop from a very early age. For many children, cavities are a common re-occurring problem.
Sealants are a protective plastic coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They protect the areas where toothbrushes cannot get.
Sealants provide a barrier so that decay-causing bacteria cannot invade the pits and fissures on the chewing surface of teeth. They can also help to protect tooth enamel.
Sealants are a safe and effective way to prevent dental cavities. In some cases they can even stop decay that has already started.
Sealants can be applied in just one appointment with Dr. Crooks.
