Dental Sealants

in Plano, TX

A dental sealant is a thin, protective coating that we apply to the back teeth (the ones used for chewing and usually the hardest to clean thoroughly). They are generally clear or white in color. Like their name suggests, a dental sealant effectively “seals out” tooth decay so it doesn’t settle in those little crevices on top of the molars and lead to cavities.

Both adults and children can benefit from sealants. Many dentists recommend that kids get sealants on their permanent molars as soon as they come in. Children without sealants are more likely to get cavities.

Yes! Dental sealants are a safe and effective preventive treatment option. At Plano Family Dental, your child’s health and safety are our top priorities, and we would never do anything to put that in jeopardy. We are proud to provide BPA-free protective sealants to ensure that your child isn’t exposed to any harmful toxins.
