Dental Sealants
There are many grooves, pits and fissures on the chewing surfaces of permanent teeth. Brush bristles ordinarily cannot go onto the depths of these surface irregularities and therefore cannot clean them properly.
Dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-coloured material "coating" is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This can be most effectively done in children when there are newly erupted caries-free teeth. This effectively "seals" the deep grooves where decay is most likely to start.
At Richmond Hill Dental Hygiene, we believe dental sealants are one of the best, preventive treatments that we can provide to our young patients. Dental sealants are radically improving the health of our children and adult patients.
The most precious gift we can give our children is good health. At Richmond Hill Dental Hygiene, we pride ourselves on our preventive philosophy to help all our patients achieve and maintain great oral health.
