Dental Sealants
Revitalize your smile and transform your confidence with personalized smile makeovers at Dental Renaissance in Plano.
Dental Sealants
You need healthy molars in order to properly chew your food. However, the location and design of these teeth can make them difficult to clean with your toothbrush. This, in turn, can make them vulnerable to cavities and even infections. Dr. Kari Blankenship and the Dental Renaissance team offer dental sealant appointments in Plano, Texas, to protect your back teeth. Call 972-423-0880 today to plan a visit with our dentist for your child, or even for yourself.
Preventative Treatment
Dental sealants are a type of preventive treatment that work to protect teeth from cavities. They are among the simplest, yet most powerful and effective, preventive treatments available. Tooth-colored resin sealants form a protective barrier over the tooth’s grooves. Sealants block food, bacteria, and plaque, making it easier to clean your teeth with regular brushing and flossing.
Who Needs Sealants?
Dentists recommend sealants for children after their permanent molars erupt, typically between ages 6 and 12. Dental sealants are also available for adults who are at greater risk of developing tooth decay. Dentists can apply sealants in just a few minutes during your regular appointment. The dentist applies sealant to the chewing surfaces, allowing it to dry quickly or curing it with a special light.
