What Are Sealants?
Dental sealants are a protective clear plastic layer brushed onto the chewing surfaces of teeth to “seal them off” from plaque and bacteria that would cause cavities to form. The best time to bring your child in for dental sealants is around when their adult molars erupt, which is usually at age six.
How Long Do Pit and Fissure Sealants Last?
Sealants can last up to ten years, and Dr. Navid will check on them during regular cleaning appointments to make sure there aren’t any chips or cracks. If you’d like to learn more about sealants, give us a call at (707) 800-8002 or send us a email.
