Dental decay "cavities"
To
prevent tooth decay, a plastic-like coating called a sealant should be
painted on the chewing surfaces of all the back teeth. Studies have
shown that sealants can reduce tooth decay by as much as 90% - 100%.
The American Dental Association recommends sealants be placed as soon as
the first adult teeth come in at age 6 or 7. Sealants should continue to
be used as each adult back tooth comes into the mouth. All back teeth
that need to be sealed are present by age 13. Sealant application is
simple, fast, painless, and cost-effective.
Please call our office with any questions you may have about the
benefits of using a sealant in preventing dental decay.
