As long as the sealant remains intact, the tooth surface will be protected from decay. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and usually last several years before a reapplication is needed. During your regular dental visits, your dentist will check the condition of the sealants and reapply them when necessary.
At our family dental practice, we encourage our patients to become active participants in their dental treatment. Our dedicated dental hygienists are active educators and serve as the cornerstone of our program to prevent dental disease with regular dental cleanings and checkups. Our dental hygienists will take the time to educate children about the importance of proper dental hygiene and preventative dental care.
