Our goal is for our patients to require the least amount of dental treatment possible. Plus, children who enter adulthood with the fewest restored teeth generally have the lowest risk of future problems. However, sealants in Ogden can dramatically reduce the number of cavities a child might develop throughout their childhood.
On the chewing surface of molars, deep grooves run into the center of the teeth. Under a microscope, these crevices might look like a deep canyon. In reality, most of them are narrower than a single toothbrush bristle but that is still wide enough for bacteria to hide. Furthermore, it’s easy to see how cavities can form in such a perfect hideout.
At Hoopes Dental in Ogden, we’ll protect your smile with preventive treatments like dental sealants. Sealants act as a protective barrier, shielding your teeth from cavities and decay by sealing the deep grooves on your molars. Plus, this treatment is especially beneficial for children and teens, but adults can also benefit from added protection. Dr. Gary Hoopes and Dr. Brett Hoopes ensure that this quick, painless procedure helps maintain long-lasting oral health. Ready to safeguard your teeth with dental sealants?
