Do you know of the many oral health techniques you can use to keep your teeth strong and in good health? Have you considered receiving dental sealants to reduce your risk of cavities? You may find dental sealants to be very useful in protecting your and your child’s teeth and keeping them healthy.
Your teeth are coated in a protective layer that is called the tooth enamel. Covering the chewing surfaces of your teeth with dental sealants provides an additional layer of protection. To receive dental sealants, your teeth need to already be healthy, and our dentist can help you correct any already existing dental issues in advance. Dental sealants are most often recommended for children from the ages of six to twelve.
Following the placement of dental sealants, it’s pivotal that you maintain your oral care routine. Dental sealants are used to treat teeth that are hard to clean and can easily accumulate deposits of bacteria and food particles, but with proper dental care, you can ensure your sealants last as long as ten years.
