Dental sealants are a quick and effective way to protect your teeth, especially the molars, from cavities. At Q Family Dental in Tigard, we apply a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, where decay often starts. Sealants create a smooth barrier that prevents bacteria and food particles from getting stuck in the grooves of your teeth, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
Dental sealants are often recommended for children, as their back teeth can be more prone to cavities. However, adults can benefit from sealants too, especially if they have deep grooves in their teeth or have a history of cavities. Our team at Q Family Dental in Tigard will evaluate your smile and recommend sealants as part of a preventive care plan, helping you keep your teeth healthy for years to come.
