Protecting Teeth from Cavity-Causing Bacteria
Sealants are a preventive dental treatment that can help protect teeth from cavities. Cavities are caused by bacteria that produce acid, which can eat away at the enamel on the teeth. Sealants form a barrier over the chewing surfaces of the teeth, making it more difficult for bacteria to reach the enamel and cause cavities. Sealants are most effective when applied to children's permanent teeth, but they can also benefit adults. Sealants can last for several years, but they may need to be reapplied if they wear away.
