Protective dental sealants in Upland, CA, are a simple, painless solution to prevent cavities, usually recommended for young children, teens, and even adults. Yes, adults benefit from sealants too! In addition, most dental insurance plans cover sealants for children under age 18 as part of regular preventive dental care.
You may have noticed that your teeth in the back of your mouth, or molars, have lots of ridges that are great for biting and chewing. Over time, the ridges become worn and tend to get deeper and narrower. Food and bacteria may eventually become trapped in these hard to reach spaces and can cause decay and cavities.
Our dentists apply dental sealants to teeth to help prevent food and bacteria from getting in those narrow spaces. Dental sealants are made out of a thin plastic coating that is painted onto your teeth’s chewing surfaces. The resin then fills the worn spaces and creates a smoother surface for brushing away food and bacteria. This protective shield over the tooth’s enamel can last up to 10 years with proper care and cleaning.
