One of our adult patients noticed she was frequently getting food caught on the chewing surfaces of several molars and was worried about getting a cavity on her teeth. We recommended a sealant to help protect the pits and grooves of her molars and prevent her from developing a cavity.
No anesthetic was required and the procedure took less than 10 minutes at a routine checkup and professional cleaning.
While Dr. Appel applied the sealants for this patient, all of our clinical staff are trained to provide quality, long lasting sealants that can minimize the risk of developing a cavity in the future.
