Dental Sealants Vancouver, WA
Dental sealants will make a significant difference in the health of your, and your children's teeth. This is a wonderful product that we use at Alder Dental. They protect your teeth from decay and could extend the life of your teeth because you are protecting them. Working as a shield, sealants seal your teeth, protecting them from food particles, debris and bacteria. Dr. Alder can protect your molars with dental sealants.
Our youth patients often have a more difficult time keeping their teeth clean. They are still learning good habits and the best way to care for their teeth. Dr. Alder can help protect their teeth while they are learning with dental sealants. Dental sealants will protect teeth from plaque and bacteria, and you will have a significant reduction in decay and dental problems.
What is a dental sealant?
A dental sealant is an application of a plastic material that is safe for your teeth. Dr. Alder applies it using a small brush. This is a painless procedure that does not require pain reliever. Dr. Alder uses the brush to literally paint the sealant product onto the teeth. The sealant will dry hard and should last several years. Dr. Alder will check the status of your sealants during your regular dental exams.
Are sealants just for children?
No, at Alder Dental, we recommend sealants for:
• |
Our patients under the age of 18 |
• |
Our adult patients who have continuous problems with decay |
• |
Our patients who request treatment |
By taking care of your teeth, with daily home care, regular dental checkups, and dental sealants, you can help your children maintain healthy teeth during their growing years, and this puts them on a good oral care path for their future.
