At Fuller Smiles Bayshore in Long Beach, CA, we prioritize preventive dental care, helping to avert oral health issues before they arise. Dental sealants are a cornerstone of this approach – a simple yet highly effective method for protecting against tooth decay. Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and teens, offering a protective layer over the grooves of molars, which are prone to trapping food particles.
Applying dental sealants at Fuller Smiles Bayshore is a swift, non-intrusive, and pain-free experience. Our experienced team can complete this procedure in just one visit. The process involves cleaning the teeth, preparing them with a specific solution, and then applying the sealant. It quickly hardens to form a robust shield against plaque and acids.
Dental sealants are tough and can withstand the rigors of daily chewing for many years, with the option of reapplication as necessary. This preventive measure is not only cost-effective but also significantly reduces the likelihood of cavity development, thereby decreasing the need for more complex dental treatments later on. At Fuller Smiles Bayshore, we recommend dental sealants as a vital element of a comprehensive oral hygiene regimen, which should also include consistent brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.
