Protective Dental Sealants in Delray Beach, FL
Dental sealants are a simple yet effective way to guard against cavities—especially in children and teens. At Dental Care Delray, we recommend sealants for patients who are more vulnerable to tooth decay, particularly on the deep grooves of the back molars where food and bacteria can get trapped.
Sealants are made of a thin, protective resin coating applied directly to the chewing surfaces of the teeth. The process is quick, painless, and can help prevent decay for many years.
Benefits of Dental Sealants:
- Shields teeth from decay-causing bacteria
- Painless and non-invasive
- Especially beneficial for children and teens
- Long-lasting protection
