Gental, Relaxing Dental Care

At Dental Solutions, we believe preventing decay is just as important as repairing it. One of our most effective treatments to stop tooth decay in its tracks is sealants. Sealants are thin plastic coatings that are painted directly onto your back teeth, where more than 75% of decay occurs. This is because your back teeth, known as your chewing surfaces, have deep grooves that easily trap bacteria and food particles. They are also difficult to clean with regular brushing and flossing. Sealants act as a protective shield against damaging particles while making the surface of these teeth smooth and easy to clean.

Applying a sealant is simple and only takes Dr. David Bogan a couple of minutes per tooth. The tooth is cleaned and prepared by applying a bonding solution. The sealant is then painted on and allowed to harden. Our dentist generally suggests dental sealants in Mobile, Alabama, for children who have not yet experienced serious decay. However, teenagers and adults can also benefit under certain circumstances. If you would like to see whether you qualify for sealants, we invite you to contact our dental office today. We would be glad to answer your questions and help in any way we can.
