Dental Sealants in Oxnard
We at Clove Dental in Oxnard are committed to helping you avoid tooth problems before they arise. Dental sealants are among the easiest and best ways to take care of your teeth, especially the rear ones. Food and germs that can lead to cavities are kept out by these thin covers, which serve as armor against decay. Dental sealants are an excellent option for you or your child if you're searching for a quick and painless approach to maintain the health of your teeth.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin resin coatings that are applied to your molars' and premolars' chewing surfaces. These back teeth usually have grooves that are difficult to clean and make a great hiding place for plaque. Sealants level the surface by filling up the ridges, making it simpler to maintain.
Despite the popular notion that sealants are just for children, they can also benefit adults. This is especially true if you have deep grooves in your teeth or are predisposed to cavities. Clove Dental applies sealants carefully and with dependable materials to ensure they survive and operate correctly.
Who Should Consider Dental Sealants?
Sealants are an ideal choice for:
- Children whose permanent teeth have just emerged
- Teens with dental histories
- Adults with deep holes or grooves on their rear teeth.
- Anyone who has problems brushing the back of their mouth.
- Patients who wish to take preventative actions now to avoid further dental procedures
If you are unsure if sealants are the best solution for your child, we would be happy to check them and give you open advice at your next consultation.
