Dental Sealants in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Protect Your Teeth and Avoid Cavities
Regular tooth brushing and flossing are important for cavity prevention. However, cleaning inside every groove of your teeth is not always easy. Dental sealants are a coating that smoothes out these grooves, making cleaning your teeth easier and preventing early signs of decay from progressing to a cavity.
A dental sealant is a thin plastic coating applied to teeth with deep grooves or fissures. Deep fissures in the back molars trap food particles and bacteria, increasing the risk of cavities.
Dental sealants are most commonly used on the chewing surfaces of these teeth, but they can also be used on other permanent teeth.
Kids’ teeth are frequently treated with dental sealants because they are more at risk for cavities due to a lack of brushing experience and deep tooth grooves that can trap food and bacteria.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
The main benefit of sealants is that they prevent dental cavities. They also provide other advantages, such as
- It takes only a few minutes per tooth and is simple and quick.
- Drilling is not required
- Sealants can last for many years; if one has worn down or fallen off, your dentist can replace it.
- Brushing and flossing twice daily over the sealants remains part of your regular dental care routine.
Sealants can help both children and adults. Contact Dental clinic in KL, Malaysia, to learn more or to schedule an appointment with one of our dental health experts.
