Dental Sealants: What are they and why you should get them
March 13, 2018
Dental sealants protect teeth from cavities by creating a barrier between bacteria-laden plaque and tooth enamel. Back teeth have small “trenches” on their surfaces that can trap food particles. These particles often remain there for a long time because your toothbrush can’t remove them completely. The acids in plaque eventually cause cavities to form. A dental sealant stops decay before it can start by not allowing plaque to make contact with teeth. Your dentist may apply sealants to protect your first permanent molars as soon as they arrive.

Why Dental Checkups are Essential: Treating More than a Toothache
March 13, 2018
When was the last time you visited your family dentist? Safeguarding your dental health is more than a contribution to your good looks; it’s critical to your overall welfare. Neglecting one’s oral well-being can lead to a variety of dental and/or medical issues such as bone loss, infection, heart disease, gum disease and more. Although there are some dentists who suggest a dental checkup once a year is perfectly fine, going every six months is one of the best ways to ensure you are taking proper care of your dental health.
