Decay often occurs on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. In order to prevent decay on those surfaces, sealants are applied to act as a barrier against the decay-prone areas. Sealants have long-term effects and help avoid tooth decay, along with the discomfort associated with decay.

Sealants are a preventive investment in oral health that cost less than half the cost of fillings. If you have any questions about sealants or how they can help you and your children preserve your healthy smile, please feel free to call us.
