Dental Sealants

Even if you maintain routine dental care and excellent brushing and flossing, your mouth has hard-to-reach places. Dental sealants to the rescue! These thin coatings help protect your teeth from cavities and decay. Dental sealants provide teeth with 80% more protection during the first year and up to 60% in the years following, for up to four years! Many are surprised to discover that this dental service is so effective. The American Dental Association strongly recommends this service for children, even those with excellent dental hygiene.
