Fighting tooth decay can be a never-ending
battle, but not if you talk to your dentist about sealants. According
to Colgate, dental sealants can
help protect the chewing areas of your teeth against tooth decay in both children and adults.
Your molars and your kids premolar teeth have fissures
or grooves that make them susceptible to tooth decay. Because the grooves are
quite deep, they can be very difficult to keep clean. Some are narrower than
one bristle on your toothbrush. Once plaque begins to accumulate, bacteria will
start to attack the enamel on your teeth eventually causing cavities.
Country Club Dentistry and your Rancho Mirage Dentist can apply sealants that will give your teeth and your kids teeth the extra protection needed to prevent cavities. These sealants will give teeth a smooth surface
covering the pitted areas preventing tooth decay.
Dental sealants have been used since the 1970s
and can last for years. Your dentist can provide you and your children
with tooth sealants that can help prevent tooth decay.
After Dr. Randall W. Szutz cleans the surface
of your teeth he will make sure that the area is washed
and dried. After an acidic solution is placed on the chewing surface, it is
rinsed off. This acidic solution causes the surface of the tooth to become
rough enabling your Dentist in Rancho Mirage to attach the dental sealant to
each tooth. Country Club Dentistry will then dry the sealant until it becomes a
hardened plastic like coating.
Your Rancho Mirage Dentist can provide you
and your family with dental sealants that are proven effective in the fight
against tooth decay. Each sealant application only takes a few minutes and can
hold up to normal chewing.
