The teeth of your children can be protected from teeth decay by using Sealants. Use of sealants is the painless and safe method to protect teeth. Sealant is a special plastic coating. Your Glasgow dentists apply it to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. After that bacteria or food can neither pass through this hard shield of sealant nor enter into small grooves present in the teeth's surface. Thus the teeth are protected from decay.
Only molars and premolars need the sealants to be applied on them, because their biting surfaces have pits and fissures on them. Some teeth may have natural deep grooves on biting surfaces. On dental examination if the pits and fissures are found very deep, then your Glasgow dentist will advise you to have the sealing done. Where as shallow pits do not need sealing.
Sealing is done within a few minutes on a tooth. Its procedure is very simple and fast. First the tooth is cleaned, a special solution is applied on it, and then tooth is dried. Sealant is in liquid form, is applied on it, and then it is subjected to ultra violet light which turns liquid sealant into a hard substance. This process is free from pain. Feeling on the tooth is normal and as usual
