proactive with your child\u2019s dental care by placing sealants to protect the chewing surfaces of their healthy teeth.<\/p><p>Dental Sealants are an excellent way to protect the chewing surfaces of young teeth. A dental sealant is a thin covering painted onto your tooth, and it acts as a barrier to keep out plaque and food. Sealants are most often used on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, like the molars, which are most prone to plaque and tooth decay.<\/p><p>Sealants are safe and effective, and they are recommended by the American Dental Association as an important step to lower your risk of tooth decay and cavities. Sealants are smooth, and you can\u2019t feel them. Because they are clear or white, sealants cannot be seen when you smile. They usually last for several years, but that time may be reduced by chewing on ice or hard foods. At your regular dental visit, we will check your sealants and reapply them if needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6f5544bd\" data-id=\"6f5544bd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5f170106 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5f170106\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6a7f00a3\" data-id=\"6a7f00a3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-17180d09\" data-id=\"17180d09\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd5dbba elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"dd5dbba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-615e5740 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"615e5740\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What to Expect<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f29a314 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f29a314\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It takes only a few minutes to apply a sealant on each tooth.

The American Dental Association recommends that dental sealants are an important step you should take to lower your risk of tooth decay and cavities. If you have any questions, talk to your dentist.<\/p><h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1698 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/metzgerdev.bsmall.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ADA_sealants_work_large-300x201.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metzgerdentistry.com\/staging\/5942\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ADA_sealants_work_large-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/metzgerdentistry.com\/staging\/5942\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ADA_sealants_work_large.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h4><h4>You May Benefit from Sealants at Any Age<\/h4><p>Sealants are recommended for children and teenagers, since tooth decay can start soon after teeth come in. But, you never outgrow the chance of tooth decay and cavities, so adults can benefit from sealants, too.<\/p><p>A sealant can be placed on a tooth that does not have a cavity in its pits and grooves. If your tooth is stained or has slight decay, your dentist may suggest you get a sealant, though other treatment may be necessary. If your tooth has more advanced decay or has a cavity, it will need a filling.<\/p><p><strong>Prevention is always better than treatment!<\/strong>\u00a0Sealants are very useful in preventing tooth decay on the back teeth and can save you money over time. Your dentist can make sealants part of your plan for a healthy mouth.<\/p><hr style=\"height: 1px; border-width: 0; color: gray; background-color: gray; align: center; width: 100%;\" \/><h6>Patient education content \u00a92020 American Dental Association.
