Dental Sealants In Boca Raton
At My Dentist For Life, our aim is to minimize the need for extensive dental treatment for our patients. We understand that individuals who have fewer restored teeth as they transition into adulthood are less likely to encounter future dental issues. Dental Sealants in Boca Raton offer us a valuable tool to significantly decrease the need for fillings in permanent teeth during crucial stages of growth and development. The deep grooves on the chewing surface of molars may appear like a deep canyon under a microscope, providing a perfect hiding spot for bacteria. By sealing these narrow crevices, we can prevent cavities from forming in these hard-to-reach areas.
Sealing the grooves in permanent molars at a young age significantly reduces the risk of decay on the chewing surfaces. This procedure is quick and painless. If the grooves are cavity-free, they can be cleaned and conditioned before a resin material is applied and sealed with a blue light. This provides protection against cavities in just a few minutes.
While dental sealants only last a few years and may need maintenance, studies show a 90% decrease in cavity activity in sealed molars. This simple and cost-effective step can help your child avoid fillings and major dental work in the future.
