In this video, Dr. William Kisker, Children Dentist in Vernon Hills, IL, explains the process of using dental sealants. Dental sealant is an effective treatment for both children and adults providing protection from decay and cavities. Dental sealant is a preventive measure against decay and gum disease caused by food particles and residue that settles into the deep grooves of the tooth. These deep grooves cannot be adequately cleaned with just a tooth brush, which leads to cavities. The dental sealant, while it does not hinder eating or speaking, they significantly diminish the chance for decay, as the grooves are sealed against potentially damaging bacteria and decay from food that gets trapped in the grooves. The sealants are thin and small, requiring no injections or drilling, and is done quickly and simply. The sealant can last a life time depending on the personal habits of the individual.
