Sealants are a thin coating of tooth-coloured composite resin that our dentists use to cover the surface of your little one's molars, filling in any pits and grooves that could harbour bacteria or plaque and become problematic.
Dental sealants offer extra protection against tooth decay and cavities to developing teeth, helping your child avoid dental procedures like tooth fillings.
When Do We Recommend Dental Sealants in North York?
Our dentists typically recommend dental sealants for children or adults who are prone to tooth decay, because they are an added layer of protection.
Children typically haven't developed their brushing skills yet and may tend to miss areas that could be prone to tooth decay when they're brushing and flossing. Dental sealants protect them by keeping bacteria away from their chewing surfaces.
Dental sealants are a non-invasive treatment procedure that we can complete during one visit, and often without the need for anesthetic. Many dental insurance plans even provide coverage for dental sealants as a preventive procedure.
