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.
