Have you ever heard of dental sealants? Dental sealants are tooth restoration treatments that can lock in teeth for additional protection against dental erosion and specifically cavities. Here are some things you should know about dental sealants:
– They can lower the risk of tooth decay in your mouth by 80% with dental sealants.
– Dental sealants can protect your teeth by safeguarding against harmful acids in your mouth so that they cannot penetrate your tooth enamel.
– Dental sealants can guard your teeth with long-lasting protection for years, up to a decade before they may need to be reapplied or replaced.
– Although sealants are not to be used for infants, they can be placed in children as young as six, as sealants are most beneficial for molars, which usually grow in when a child is around six years of age.
– They do not hinder or conceal the look of your teeth, as they are clear and will not change the natural look of your smile.
– These applications can make sure children are 3 times less likely to develop a cavity.
