A strong preventive dental routine goes beyond basic brushing and flossing. Even with good daily habits, back molars are notoriously hard to keep cavity-free because of their deep grooves. Dental sealants in Calgary fill in the grooves, helping seal off the tooth from bacteria and reduce the risk of cavities.
Our team at 16th Avenue Dental is here to help you care for your smile. Visit us for all of your preventive needs, including sealants.
What are Dental Sealants?
The chewing surfaces of teeth contain grooves and crevices, but some grooves are too deep, making it hard to brush properly. Unfortunately, when food and plaque become trapped, tooth decay may develop.
Dental sealants help reduce the risk of tooth decay and cavities by creating a protective shield over the enamel surface of each tooth.
How the Sealant Process Works
Sealants are an easy way to create a barrier against cavity-causing bacteria using a dental resin material similar to white fillings. We place the dental sealant over your tooth’s biting surface to help reduce the likelihood of decay.
Placing dental sealants is quick and simple, and especially useful for children still learning to brush!
Our dentist bonds the sealant to the tooth without much preparation. Once applied, sealants help reduce tooth decay by filling the depressions and grooves of the teeth, creating a barrier.
