Preventive care is very important, regular cleanings and check ups will
help maintain your oral health and prevent caries and periodontal disease.
Formation of caries can also be prevented by dental sealants: Sealants
are thin, plastic coatings painted on the chewing surfaces of the back
teeth. Getting sealants put on is simple and painless. Sealants are painted
on as a liquid and quickly harden to form a shield over the tooth.
