Dental Sealants | Kelowna
Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay is most likely to occur. This thin, plastic layer acts as a barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from settling into the deep grooves and pits of molars and premolars. By sealing these vulnerable areas, dental sealants significantly reduce the risk of cavities, especially in children and teenagers who are more prone to tooth decay. The application process is quick, painless, and can provide long-lasting protection, making sealants an excellent preventive measure to maintain oral health and avoid more costly dental treatments in the future.
