Dental Sealants and Its Effect on Your Dental Health
Are you familiar with dental sealants and the effect on your smile? Are you looking to improve your smile with enhanced aesthetics and functionality? Even though dental sealants cannot truly reverse the dental damage, they are extremely effective at preventing future damage from occurring.
In conjunction with many studies, the application of dental sealants on your teeth can lower your risk for tooth decay in your molars by nearly 80%. It works by shielding against the effects of harmful acids that cause dental erosion. In most situations, sealants can easily last up to ten years before they need to be repaired or reapplied.
If your tooth enamel is wearing down, you may require dental sealants. Dental sealants are tooth restoration treatments that apply clear gels to your teeth to fix holes or signs of dental erosion. They are then sealed and hardened with a specialized light to further shield your teeth from the dangers of tooth decay.
Always make time in your life to visit your dentist at The Chicago Family Dental Center for dental sealants, and if necessary, to book an appointment with Dr. Gary Wegmann for a detailed exam of your oral health. You can reach our dentist office in Chicago, Illinois, by calling us at 312.551.0500. We will get you back to smiling once more!
