SEAL OUT TOOTH DECAY

THE BEST PROTECTION AGAINST FUTURE DECAY.....DENTAL SEALANTS.



About 90 % of decay in school age children occurs in the pits and fissures/ groves of the chewing surface of the teeth. These surfaces trap plaque and bacteria and because it is hard to reach with a toothbrush they start decay. Untreated tooth decay can cause pain, difficulty in eating, tooth loss which in turn effects self esteem. Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease in children and it is preventable by Dental Sealants.

DENTAL SEALANTS are plastic resin material applied in the pit and fissures of the teeth which forms a barrier between the tooth and bacteria. Sealants are very easy to apply and it only takes only a minute or so. In Georgia, an Expanded Function Dental Assistant or Dental Hygienist or a Dentist can apply a sealant. A well done Sealant can last several years and with time they get worn out and they can be replaced as needed. We advice patients not to chew ice to prevent sealants breakdown.

We advice Sealants on all age groups but we highly recommend for all children and teenagers. As you cannot outgrow decay, even adults can reap the benefits of sealants. When you visit us for an exam, the dentist examines the teeth and may suggest you a sealant if there is no decay or a filling if there is a decay. Sealants are very cost effective and almost 100% effective in preventing decay when retained.

REMEMBER... Sealants only protect the chewing surfaces but not the whole tooth from decay. So Good Oral Hygiene is very important which includes twice a day brushing, flossing and using a mouth wash. FINALLY see us regularly for examination and teeth cleaning.
