How Sealants Help Prevent Tooth Decay

Posted on 20 August 2020

Dental sealants are a non-invasive treatment that can help prevent decay and cavities, and keep your teeth healthy for a long time.

Key takeaways:

Sealants are applied on teeth that are hard to clean thoroughly, like back molars. This helps prevent bacterial build up.
They can be applied to small cavities to stop them from getting bigger.
Sealants are safe for children and adults, and will keep your teeth protected for up to 10 years.

Good dental hygiene and frequent visits to the dentist are other things that can help keep your teeth free of decay.
