Dental Sealants Rochester MN

Do I Need Dental Sealing?

Dental sealants are a highly effective treatment to prevent decay on the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. The dental sealant fills in the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting the teeth in areas that the toothbrush bristles cannot reach. 

Dental sealants are especially important in the developing mouth of children. Permanent molars erupt into the mouth starting around age 6 years. It is important to protect these teeth especially when effective oral hygiene habits have not been established. Dental sealants are quick to apply and can often times be included in a hygiene appointment. Dental sealants can last for many years and may periodically need to be retouched.

Both children and adults can benefit from sealants in the fight against tooth decay.
