Dental Sealants

Dental Sealants Mississauga
Brushing your teeth twice a day and receiving regular checkups and professional cleanings is essential for keeping teeth healthy. However, it is still possible to take protection one step further. Sealants can cover your back teeth, stopping remnants of food from becoming trapped in the fissures.

What Are Sealants?

Sealants are made from a protective coating that sticks to the chewing surface of molars or premolars, keeping teeth safe from bacteria, acid, and plaque. Suitable for new teeth and teeth that have already suffered from decay, sealants are particularly useful for teeth with deep grooves that are difficult to clean with a toothbrush.

Before you receive sealants, we will clean your teeth using a paste and rotating brush. We will then apply an acidic gel to roughen the surface. This allows the sealant to bond to your tooth. We rinse your teeth of the acid after just a few seconds, apply the sealant, and cure the sealant using a special light.

How Effective Are Sealants?

Sealants reduce your risk of cavities by up to 80 percent. This is especially useful for children aged 6 to 11, who tend to be at a higher risk for tooth decay. Children without sealants have, on average, three times as many cavities as children who have sealants on their teeth.

Sealants last for several years, and we will check their condition every time you come in for a checkup. As they are transparent, it is easy for us to check the tooth underneath.

Who Can Receive Sealants?

Anyone can receive sealants, although they are more common for children than adults. We can apply sealants to any back teeth as soon as the entire chewing surface has erupted from the gums. Although sealants tend to be for permanent teeth, they are also a possibility for primary teeth with deep grooves.

Been going to the Bristol Dental Clinic for years, they provide excellent service. I have pretty sensitive teeth, so when the unfortunate time comes to have a cavity removed/filled, they go the extra mile to ensure I can be as comfortable as possible during the process, always appreciated. Although I have now moved, I'll still make the extra bit of a drive to keep coming back. Cheers to the team at Bristol Dental Clinic!

For someone who values dental health, my experience with Bristol Dental Clinic has been simply great. Dr. Annie Thomas has been our family dentist for some 10+ years. Throughout my treatments, be it a routine cleaning or a complex procedure, one aspect that really impressed me was the state-of-the-art equipment and technology used throughout the practice. The clinic itself is immaculate. They follow strict hygiene protocols, which is especially reassuring in today's world. It is evident that Dr. Annie and her team invests in the latest advancements in dentistry to provide the best patient care. They are not only highly skilled professionals but also incredibly compassionate and attentive. Moreover, the hygienist are gentle and thorough & the reception staff is extremely courteous and efficient.

I met Dr Annie and Bristol Dental family in 2002. I had just move to Mississauga single mother with two children who needed a emergency care. I had no coverage and Dr Annie was more interested in caring for my children dental issue more than payment or insurance coverage.I felt at home and I know I could trust Dr Annie and Bristol Dental family. 21 years of service still feels like visiting a family member. Dr Annie, Thomas and Bristol Dental family keep up the excellent work. I pray that this business will continue to grow and be a blessing to many in Jesus Name Amen
