jameswki

Bad habits accompanied by a bad diet can be the cause of different dental and oral problems. It could lead to various big and small issues. Irrespective of your age, it can lead to cavities or tooth decay that could spoil the teeth, as well as lead to gum infections. Sometimes you may not be able to control your food habits, but right measures can help avoid tooth decay and other problems.

Today dental sciences have advanced to something more prolific and deep. It is no more about curative treatment but preventive measures as well. Along with protecting your dentures, it is also about making you look and feel good. That can be done by fortifying your teeth, so that they serve you well for as long you live. Sealants are one such preventive measure that helps protect your teeth from tooth decay and other harmful acids that can eat away at the enamel of the teeth. Other than going in for treatments like root canal and extraction, sometimes sealants work better and of course, painlessly. Dentists at Northpark suggest sealants as a measure to protect teeth from decay and germs.






Why Sealants?

Sealants are an ultra-thin protective coating that can be applied to the dentures in a very short time. They are applied on the enamel of the teeth. The dentures are thoroughly cleaned and an acid solution is used to roughen out the surface. The sealant is applied post the treatment which then sticks to the teeth permanently. If proper care is taken, the sealants last anywhere between 10 – 15 years, or more. They are extremely affordable and work equally well for young and old. Brushing and flossing additionally complements the sealants and helps protect the teeth and gums from decay.
