Protect Your Teeth
At Farmville Dental in Farmville, VA, we offer dental sealants as a proactive measure to shield your teeth from decay. This simple, painless procedure involves applying a clear or tooth-colored resin to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. Sealants quickly bond into the grooves and depressions of the teeth, forming a protective barrier over the enamel of each tooth.
Who Should Consider Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are particularly beneficial for:
- Children and teenagers, as they are most prone to cavities, especially in the grooves and depressions of their back teeth.
- Adults with no decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants to prevent future problems.
Advantages of Dental Sealants
- Preventive Care: Sealants are a great preventive tool against tooth decay, especially in hard-to-clean areas.
- Easy Application: The process is quick, painless, and non-invasive, with sealants often applied in just one visit.
- Long-lasting Protection: With proper care, sealants can protect teeth from decay for up to 10 years.
- Cost-Effective: By preventing cavities and the need for fillings or crowns, sealants save money in the long run.
- Suitable for All Ages: While ideal for children and teenagers, adults can also benefit from the added protection of sealants.
