What is sealants?
Allo Dental Clinic provides sealants near Yonge and Lawrence in Toronto. Dental sealants are placed on chewing surfaces where grooves can trap food and plaque. They are most common for children and teens, but adults may benefit in selected cases. Your dentist explains the diagnosis, options, expected fees, and referral needs before treatment begins.
Sealants protect the grooves toothbrush bristles do not always reach well.
The tooth is cleaned, prepared, and coated with a thin material that flows into the grooves. The visit is usually quick and does not require freezing.
We recommend sealants only when the shape of the tooth and cavity risk make them useful. Existing decay needs a different treatment plan.
