At Double Bay Dental
Studio we use the latest dental sealant materials
to help protect back teeth from bacteria which
cause tooth decay. These materials form a
complete protective barrier by bonding to
the surface of the tooth, and filling in the
tooth’s natural grooves and fissures.
The effect of sealants
last for many years, and they have been
proven to prevent decay in children. From
the very first years through to the adolescent
period is when children are most prone to
cavities, and sealants work most effectively
when applied as early as possible to the
permanent back teeth.
In this painless, quick
procedure, a solution is applied to the
surface of the tooth which is to be sealed;
this helps the sealant bond more effectively
with the natural tooth enamel. The sealant
is then applied and allowed to harden using
ultraviolet light. The entire procedure
only takes a few minutes and is done in
the comfort of our Dental Studio.
