Dental Sealants Grand Prairie TX

The deeper recesses of your teeth are tough to clean with conventional methods and require an expert touch to clean effectively.

Sealants are made of plastic and are roughened to make it look and function like the chewing surface of your teeth.

They are usually used to treat the back molars and can be set in place by your dentist in a single session.

Getting your sealants is a simple 4 step process:

• Your teeth are professionally cleaned and dried using cotton
• An acid solution helps roughen your teeth and get the tooth to bond more easily with the sealants.
• The teeth are rinsed and dried once again.
• The final step involves the dentist painting the sealant on the chewing surfaces of your teeth.

Sealants are not a permanent solution. They can also get damaged, chipped and broken over the course of time with regular use.

It is best to have regular checkups with your dental care professional in order to keep it maintained in shape. If damaged, the dentist can replace them immediately and prevent further complications.
