IT IS EASY TO PREVENT TOOTH DECAY | Dental Sealants Seal the Grooves

Save your children from future dentistry by having sealants placed on all posterior teeth.

How to prevent tooth decay - Almost 100%

The Facts Are...

• Too much sugar and not thoroughly cleaning your teeth leads to tooth decay
• Most of us get our first filling on one of our back teeth
• No matter how much you clean and avoid sugar it is almost always inevitable due to the deep nooks and crannies found on the biting surfaces of all our back teeth
• Its these nooks and crannies where bacteria can collect and eventually decay the tooth surface
• For this reason most of us have fillings on just our back teeth
• Front teeth are almost self-cleansing and don’t really get decay
• The best dentistry is no dentistry!
• Once you get your first filling you now are destined for replacing that filling again and again with more future dentistry
• Why? No dental restoration will last as long as your own natural tooth

So here is the secret to avoiding life-long dentistry for your children…

• Dental sealants... seal the grooves
• Advanced placement of sealants on all biting surfaces of posterior teeth where the nooks and crannies are that provide nests for bacteria
• For most children, this can prevent the first filling and eliminate replacement AND future restorative treatment
• Simply put, if you never get your first filling you will never need another one to replace the first one

Just for review...

• Most children (and some adults) can avoid future dentistry by having properly placed sealants on the biting surfaces of the posterior teeth where nooks and crannies exist that can provide nests for bacterial activity and subsequent decay
• Sealants work best when they are properly placed
• Save your children from future dentistry by having sealants placed on all posterior teeth
