Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). They work by filling in the grooves and pits on the teeth to make them smoother and easier to clean. This helps to prevent bacteria and food particles from getting stuck and causing decay. Sealants are a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure that can protect your teeth for many years.
Sealants help prevent cavities by creating a protective barrier for your teeth.
Both sealants and alternative treatments are quick and painless procedures that require no shots or drilling.
sealants are affordable and can save you money in the long run by preventing the need for more expensive dental procedures.
Dental sealants are ideal for children and adults and can protect your teeth for many years.
Children and teenagers are excellent candidates for dental sealants. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that school-age children without sealants have almost three times more cavities than children with sealants. This is because children’s teeth are still developing and are more prone to cavities. Sealants can be applied to children’s teeth when their molars come in, usually around 6 or 7.
Adults can also benefit from dental sealants and alternative treatments, especially if they are at high risk for cavities. For example, people with dry mouth, gum recession, or a history of cavities may benefit from sealants and alternative treatments.
Dental sealants and fluoride treatments are simple, painless, and effective preventive measures that can help protect your teeth and promote long-term oral health.
The process for applying dental sealants involves the following steps:
First, the teeth that receive the sealants are thoroughly cleaned and dried.
CURODONT ™ REPAIR and its innovative CUROLOX® TECHNOLOGY supports the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals deep inside the cavity. It encourages remineralization of enamel by using calcium and phosphate from your saliva. CURODONT ™ REPAIR is the first non-invasive, regenerative caries therapy.
A special light is used to cure the sealant material, which hardens and bonds to the tooth enamel.
In addition to dental sealants, we offer alternative treatments like nano-hydroxyapatite, which can help strengthen the tooth enamel and protect against decay caused by acid-producing bacteria.
We also provide Icon, a minimally invasive treatment that can treat early stages of tooth decay by infiltrating the tooth’s pores and filling in the weakened areas.
Curdont™ Repair and its innovative Curolox® Technologoy supports the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals deep inside the cavity. It encourages remineralization of enamel by using calcium and phosphate from your saliva. Curdont™ Repair is the first non-invasive, regenerative caries therapy.
Nano-hydroxyapatite is an alternative treatment to fluoride that can help remineralize and strengthen tooth enamel. This biocompatible material has been shown to reduce sensitivity, prevent cavities, and promote overall oral health.
This minimally invasive treatment can treat early stages of tooth decay. It is a resin-based material that is applied to the affected area, and it works by infiltrating the tooth's pores and filling in the weakened areas. This treatment can help prevent the need for more invasive procedures down the line, such as fillings or crowns.
If you’re looking for a simple, non-invasive way to prevent cavities and protect your teeth, dental sealants in Dublin, OH, are an excellent choice. Contact Avery Dental Wellness today to schedule an appointment or learn more about dental sealants and other alternative treatments.
