Dental sealants offer an effective way to protect your teeth from cavities, especially in the deep grooves of your molars and premolars. These back teeth are prone to accumulating food particles and bacteria, which can lead to decay. At Creekside Dental, we provide dental sealants in Yakima, Washington, offering a simple, painless solution to keep your smile healthy.
The Process of Applying Sealants
Applying dental sealants is a quick and comfortable procedure. Dr. Bennett Packard, Dr. Mark Walker and Dr. Matthew Dunn will first clean and prepare your teeth, ensuring they are ready for the sealant. The sealant material is then carefully painted onto the chewing surfaces of your teeth, where it bonds with the enamel and hardens. This protective layer acts as a barrier, preventing plaque and bacteria from settling in the grooves and making your teeth easier to clean.
Who Can Benefit from Dental Sealants?
While dental sealants are most commonly recommended for children and teenagers, who are at higher risk of cavities, they are also beneficial for adults with deep grooves in their teeth. Sealants can provide years of protection, reducing the need for more extensive dental treatments down the road. We include sealants as part of a comprehensive approach to preventive dental care.Â
