Sealants

Did you know that sealants are of the most effect ways to protect against tooth decay where it’s most likely to occur? Here at Greenville Family Dentistry, sealants are one of our leading pediatric procedures for fighting cavities.  We usually place sealants for children once their first molars erupt, and again when their adult teeth grow in. Since these teeth play a major role in chewing and are the toughest to reach with regular brushing, they are especially susceptible to plaque and decay.  Sealants are used to form a protective shell over the tooth’s enamel. This is accomplished by coating the teeth with the liquid sealant then allowing it to harden.  The procedure is simple and provides substantial benefits for kids.
