PROTECT YOUR TEETH, MONCTON, NB
Daily brushing and flossing will help to prevent your tooth decay, but there is a material that can replace the chewing surface of your tooth to help seal out plaque and acids before they form a cavity. The material is known as a dental sealant, and it is painted on the outside of the tooth, and acts as a barrier to prevent cavities and protect your tooth. The procedure is painless, and only takes a few minutes to apply. For the most common type of sealant, your dental hygienist will clean and dry the tooth, then they place a gel on the tooth's chewing surface. The gel prepares the the surface of the tooth for the sealant. Once the gel has been rinsed off, and the tooth has been dried, the dental hygienist will place the liquid plastic material in the groves of your tooth. A special blue light will harden the plastic. The plastic forms the sealant.
Anyone can get a sealant, including adults, but children and teenagers are often the best candidates for sealant. The earlier you can place this protective barrier on the surface of your tooth, the less likely your tooth will develop a cavity. Whats great about dental sealants, is that they are safe, cost effective, and they hold up while under the force of normal chewing. During your regular dental hygienist visits, your hygienist will check the condition of the sealants, and can reapply them when needed. Sealants will often last for several years before they need to be reapplied. You still need to brush and floss but sealants give you extra protection against cavities.
