Whether you're in Dunwoody or the Greater Atlanta area, we are here to keep your smile bright and healthy.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars). These areas are prone to decay because of their deep grooves and crevices, where food particles and plaque can easily accumulate. The sealant acts as a barrier, preventing bacteria from infiltrating and causing cavities.
Why Choose Dental Sealants?
Sealants are an excellent choice for both children and adults who want to reduce the risk of tooth decay. Benefits include:
- Effective Protection: Sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by up to 80%.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, sealants can last several years.
- Quick & Painless Application: The process is non-invasive and can be completed in a single visit.
Did you know? According to the CDC, children without sealants are three times more likely to develop cavities.
The Dental Sealant Process at Peach Dental
Applying sealants is a straightforward process that typically involves these steps:
- Cleaning the Tooth: The tooth is thoroughly cleaned to remove plaque and debris.
- Preparation: A gentle solution is applied to help the sealant bond to the tooth.
- Application: The sealant material is painted onto the tooth's surface.
- Curing: A special light hardens the sealant, forming a strong, protective layer.
The entire process is quick, painless, and perfect for patients of all ages!
Sealants: Ideal for Kids and Adults
While dental sealants are often recommended for children and teens, they can be just as beneficial for adults. If you have deep grooves in your molars or are prone to cavities, sealants are an excellent preventive measure.
