Dental sealants are highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth. It is a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic "coating" is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively "seals" the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids. They are made up of plastics and other materials, which are applied directly to the chewing surfaces of your molars, effectively covering over the crevices of these teeth. Eternity Dental provides top-quality sealants in McKinney, TX. Dental sealants are noninvasive, preventative tooth decay treatments which will be benefit for children and adults in the fight against tooth decay.
Teeth have pits and grooves, which are typically hard to reach when brushing and/or flossing. Sealants protect these areas, as they are prone to trapping food. The sealant is typically applied to the back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent tooth decay. With dental sealants, grooves can remain cavity-free. Sealants prevent the accumulation of food debris and bacteria, and also help to make your teeth easier to keep clean. Sealants are easy to apply and it take only a few minutes to seal each tooth and hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed.
