Sealants are a common preventive treatment in dentistry. Some teeth have fine grooves or pits that accumulate plaque, not because the person doesn't brush, but because the grooves are too narrow to allow even one bristle into them. When plaque accumulates, it can lead to cavities and other types of tooth decay. To apply sealants, a plastic material is brushed onto the tooth, filling these narrow grooves and preventing the cavity-causing buildup. Sealants make healthy teeth possible. The benefits of sealants include: Protection against decay - Sealants effectively seal off the crevices of the teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and decay. Reduced future treatments - They serve as a proactive step in preventing the need for future dental treatments, such as fillings or root canals. Safe and painless: The application of sealants is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure that helps protect your teeth for many years.
"The receptionists were very kind and professional and helped me with scheduling not only my appointment, but also my two kids and were able to get us in all together. The hygienist was also very kind and did a great job with all three of our cleanings. Dr. Bo was very thorough and explained and showed me what type of dental work I would need done. I was super pleased with how well they treated and interacted with my two young kids. They made them feel safe and eased their nerves of the dentist. Extremely happy with our experience and look forward to continuing our dental health with this office."
