Dental sealants offer an extra layer of protection for your teeth, helping to prevent cavities and maintain long-term oral health. At Harris Dental, we provide this service to patients of all ages, particularly for children who may be more prone to decay. Sealants act as a barrier on the chewing surfaces of your molars, keeping harmful bacteria from causing damage to your enamel.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, plastic coatings applied to the surface of your teeth, especially the grooves and crevices of molars. These areas can be difficult to clean with regular brushing, making them more vulnerable to cavities. Sealants work by creating a smooth surface, which reduces the risk of plaque buildup and tooth decay. This preventive treatment is quick, painless and can be completed in just one visit with our dentist.
