Shield your teeth from decay with dental sealants! Anderson & Breding Dental in Fargo, ND offers effective sealant treatments for lasting protection.
What are dental sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent decay by sealing off the grooves and pits where food particles and bacteria can accumulate.
Who can benefit from dental sealants?
Dental sealants are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers, as they are more susceptible to cavities in their permanent teeth. However, adults at high risk of decay may also benefit from sealant treatments.
How are dental sealants applied?
The application of dental sealants is a quick and painless process at Anderson & Breding Dental. First, the teeth are cleaned and dried. Then, the sealant material is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth and hardened with a special light.
How long do dental sealants last?
With proper care, dental sealants can last for several years. However, they may need to be checked during regular dental visits and reapplied if necessary to maintain their effectiveness.
Are dental sealants safe?
Yes, dental sealants are considered safe and non-invasive. They provide an additional layer of protection against cavities without affecting the natural structure of the teeth.
