Sealants

In the Spanish Fork, Salem, Mapleton & Springville Area

Sealants

Sealants are a common preventive treatment in dentistry. Some teeth have fine grooves or pits that accumulate plaque, not because the person doesn't brush, but because the grooves are too narrow to allow even one bristle into them. When plaque accumulates, it can lead to cavities and other types of tooth decay. To apply sealants, a plastic material is brushed onto the tooth, filling these narrow grooves and preventing the cavity-causing buildup. Sealants make healthy teeth possible. The benefits of sealants include: Protection against decay - Sealants effectively seal off the crevices of the teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and decay. Reduced future treatments - They serve as a proactive step in preventing the need for future dental treatments, such as fillings or root canals. Safe and painless: The application of sealants is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure that helps protect your teeth for many years.

"South Valley Dental Care is fantastic! They help my kids when they aren't cooperating so I can get my dentist appointment complete! That speaks wonders about their staff! They also do well with my children when they are doing their dentist appointments! My 4 year old has no issues now while coming to them to clean her teeth! 100% would recommend this dental office!"
