Everyone has heard the adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
In the world of dentistry, this means regular check ups, cleanings and dental xrays.
We can now add one other preventative professional dental procedure to that list: dental sealants. For those who aren’t aware, dental sealants are are thin, see-through coatings painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, keeping out germs and food.
They are painless to apply and are complete in just a few minutes. They act as an invisible coating to protect against cavities.
