Dental sealants are a very simple yet effective treatment that helps prevent tooth decay. Our dentists will apply a clear or tooth-colored resin to the cusps of your molars to protect them from harmful bacteria and plaque buildup. Sealants can be applied in one simple appointment and, with proper care, can last for many years.
Dental sealants are recommended for children ages 6 to 12, after their permanent molars have erupted. This treatment can also be for adults who have certain teeth that are prone to cavities or teeth that have been affected by previous decay. The sealant will then act like a shield against harmful plaque and tartar buildup and make brushing and flossing easier. Talk to Dr. Joseph Kayne or Dr. John Wilson about whether a dental sealant is a good option for you or your child. Our goal at Rock Canyon Dentistry is to give you the tools you need to achieve and maintain your optimal oral health.
