What Is A Sealant?
A sealant is a plastic resin material applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth — premolars and molars. It acts as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids that contribute to dental decay. Toothbrush bristles cannot reach into the deep depressions and grooves of teeth, so the sealant helps to protect these areas.
Sealants are easily applied and take only a few minutes for each tooth. Sealants will be checked at each appointment to make sure they are retained, and will generally last several years before any reapplication is needed.

Fluoride Treatments For All Ages
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we can determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, dry mouth, and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in our office or at home.
In Office and At Home Options
- In the office — Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a fluoride varnish, which is more highly concentrated and brushed onto the teeth.
- At home — At home options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpaste or a rinse to be used daily. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and be aware of the fluoride levels in your water (both community water supplies and private wells).
