Sealants
What are dental sealants
Dental sealants are a protective coating which is applied on the chewing surface of teeth. This seals the naturally occuring pits and grooves, preventing build-up of bacteria and food particles - thereby helping keep the teeth healthy.
Why are sealants needed
The back teeth of our mouth (pre-molars and molars) are susceptible to tooth decay because their chewing surface is irregular. The numerous pits and grooves on the surface of these teeth harbor bacteria and left over food particles. These pits and fissures cannot be easily cleaned by a toothbrush. Hence, this is where tooth decay initially starts. The bacteria and food create acid on the tooth surface, destroying enamel and causing cavities.
Dental sealants are strongly recommended by the American Dental Association as they have been proven to reduce cavities drastically.
At Dental Comfort the application of sealants is a NO SHOT, NO DRILL, pain free procedure. Dr. Sharma can evaluate your child's teeth and apply sealants to their baby or permanent teeth. We are strongly committed to ensuring that our young patients have a beautiful, healthy, lifelong smile.
