Our dentists, Dr. Adam Bushell or Dr. Erik Rooklidge, may recommend a dental sealant for your child. By coating the chewing areas of your child’s teeth with this natural-looking resin, it will protect against bacteria and bits of food finding their way into the rough surface of the tooth, working as a preventative measure against cavities and decay. If you have any questions about dental sealants in Eagle Mountain, Utah, please give Eagle Mountain Children’s Dentistry a call at 801-789-2014 today.
A sealant is a preventive dental treatment that our dentists may recommend to protect patients’ teeth from decay. A dental sealant is made of a clear or tooth-colored resin material, which is painted onto the chewing surface of teeth. By blocking out the bacteria and food debris that lead to tooth decay, the sealant prevents decay and cavities. The dental sealant forms a smooth coating over the natural pits and grooves of the tooth surface, which also makes it easier to effectively clean teeth with normal brushing.
Dental sealants are most often recommended for children. Our dentists frequently recommend sealants for permanent molars as soon as they come in, usually between the ages of 6 and 12 years. We may also recommend dental sealants for adult patients whose teeth are prone to decay or have not been restored or suffered from decay in the past. We can apply dental sealants in just one short, comfortable visit to our practice.
Sealants can be a powerful tool in preventing decay and keeping your smile healthy. To learn more about dental sealants and how we can keep your smile in good health, we welcome you to call or visit our office today.
