Unlock a Strong Shield Against Decay with Dental Sealants

In the pursuit of optimal dental health, preventative measures play a pivotal role. Among these, dental sealants stand as a robust defender against tooth decay. At Harewood Dental, we offer dental sealant application to add an extra layer of protection to your teeth, particularly the molars and bicuspids.

Dental sealants, also known as fissure sealants, are thin film coatings meticulously applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars and bicuspids. These back teeth often house numerous pits and fissures, becoming hideouts for food particles and bacteria. Sealants act as a barrier, covering these crevices to prevent food and bacteria entrapment, thus thwarting the onset of decay.

While dental sealants are especially beneficial for children, whose oral hygiene practices might not yet be fully developed, they are equally advantageous for adults. By providing a smooth, easy-to-brush surface, sealants facilitate better oral hygiene maintenance, irrespective of age.

Once applied, dental sealants endure a fair amount of wear and tear due to the daily rigors of chewing. During your regular dental visits at Harewood Dental, we examine the sealants for any wear, cracks, or chipping, ensuring they continue to offer steadfast protection.

Investing in dental sealants is an investment in prevention – a step towards avoiding the discomfort and costs associated with tooth decay and cavities. The process is quick, painless, and the benefits are long-lasting.
