Cavities don’t always start with pain, but they do start small. At 32 Dental Village, we use sealants and fluoride treatments to stop tooth decay before it begins. These simple, painless treatments are a smart way to protect your teeth, especially for kids, teens, and anyone prone to cavities.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars). These teeth have deep grooves where food and bacteria can hide, even if you brush regularly. Sealants “seal out” harmful particles and help prevent cavities in those hard-to-clean spots.
- Fast and easy to apply
- No pain or drilling
- Lasts for several years
Sealants are especially helpful for children when their adult molars first come in, but adults can benefit too.
What Is a Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel. While it’s found in some toothpaste and tap water, an in-office fluoride treatment delivers a stronger, longer-lasting dose. After a cleaning, we apply fluoride gel or varnish to help fight off cavities and rebuild weak spots in your enamel.
- Safe for kids and adults
- Helps prevent tooth decay
- Supports overall oral health
Are These Treatments Right for Me?
Yes, especially if you:
- Have deep grooves in your molars
- Get cavities easily
- Want extra protection for your child’s new adult teeth
- Don’t always drink fluoridated water
These treatments are fast, affordable, and provide real, lasting benefits.
