Dental Sealants Help Protect Your Oral Health
Jun
Dental sealants help protect your oral health by reinforcing the capacity of the chewing surfaces of your teeth to resist cavities and tooth decay. They add another line of defense against oral disease which supports regular brushing and flossing.
How They Work
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that are painted onto the chewing surfaces of your back teeth—molars and premolars. The sealants can be clear or white. The natural grooves and crevices in the surfaces of these back teeth tend to make them vulnerable to decay, because they can often be too narrow for toothbrush bristles. The difficulty of sufficiently cleaning these areas enables plaque and bacteria acid to accumulate and then attack the tooth enamel. To prevent this from happening, dental sealants are applied. Teeth are first thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. After this, the sealant is placed over these areas, providing a smooth hard barrier that can keep bacteria and plaque out for years.
Who They’re For
Dental sealants can help protect your oral health whether young or older. According to the American Dental Association, sealants can reduce the chance of tooth decay in molars by almost 80%. This makes them especially useful in child dental care, providing extra protection during the cavity-prone years from ages 6 to 14. Although the teeth of older people tend to be stronger and more cavity-resistant, dental sealants can still provide adults with deeply creviced molars considerable protection.
Water Flossing Protects Your Oral Health
Optimal oral care depends on regular dental visits and your home care routine. Regular daily brushing and flossing, combined with water flossing, dynamically reduces oral diseases such as cavities and gum disease by easily and effectively flushing food debris and plaque bacterial from between teeth and below the gumline. Water flossers, such as the Aquapick AQ-230 and AQ-350, combine IPX7 waterproofing and ergonomic design to deliver cleaning convenience in a compact portable or space-saving countertop model. Easily adjustable cleaning modes ensure superior waterflow control and effective cleaning deep cleaning. The addition of water flossing to your oral care routine will improve the level of your oral hygiene.
