Dental Sealants in Walnut Creek
Feel around the biting surface of your back teeth, the place where your food gets chewed every day. Those little pits and grooves that cover the surface? They’re ripe for decay and can be a magnet for bacteria and other tooth-ruining agents if not properly treated. Thankfully, at Horizons Dental we can protect those little crevasses with a dental sealant, perfect for patients of all ages.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Tooth-colored sealants are painted onto your teeth as an adhesive liquid, spread across your chewing surfaces and gently dried with a warm light. The best candidates for dental sealants is actually a patient who has experienced little or no tooth decay in his or her lifetime. This is because once cavities start to form and multiple fillings are needed it may be too late for a sealant to help.
