Dental Sealants, Cavity Protection for You and Your Family

Posted By: Dr. Rina M. Kotecha | Published On: Dec 1, 2022 | Sealants

Everyone is susceptible to cavities. Good oral hygiene habits can help reduce your risk of decay and keep your teeth strong and healthy. At Dentistry On 10 in Mississauga, Ontario, we offer additional cavity protection in the form of dental sealants. Sealants are plastic coatings that Dr. Rina Kotecha can apply to the chewing surfaces of your molars to keep harmful bacteria from accumulating and causing cavities. Sealants bond with your teeth to seal out food and bacteria and keep your teeth safe from decay.

Dental Sealants Benefits

Your molars have grooves that can easily trap food particles when you eat. This food will eventually prompt bacteria to breed. Over time, harmful bacteria will start to erode the enamel of your teeth and cause cavities. Dental sealants form a protective covering over your teeth which keeps food out to reduce plaque and bacteria build-up and your risk of cavities. Sealants can help you and your family enjoy stronger, healthier teeth.

As sealants are clear or white in colour, they’re inconspicuous on your teeth and won’t show up when you smile, laugh or eat. We recommend sealants for back teeth, which do most of the chewing. Sealants are durable enough to withstand the pressure of years of biting, chewing and grinding food.

Although anyone can benefit from the protection that sealants provide, they’re an excellent investment for children once their permanent molars grow in, as children aren’t always diligent in brushing their back teeth.

Hi, my name is Naren. I have been coming to dentistry on 10 for at least five years, probably a lot longer than that. I first heard about Doctor Rena, through a friend of mine who was my roommate back in college and the, the, thing that attracted me to her right off the bat is she went to Harvard of course, you know Harvard is one of the top schools in the world, so you know studying at Harvard and Learning dentistry Harvard, I’ve never met anybody who went to Harvard, so that was the number one thing. But when I came here, it’s not the Harvard that I ended up staying here for. It’s because she’s a very caring person and she has a team that really is caring. So, for example, you know I, I, have some health conditions and you know taking care of my gums is really, really, important and I’m like not that good at taking care of myself. So you know she just, just, stuck with me, just kept at me and, you know, just taught me things and talk to me about things and you know. And when I did, you know, kind of mess up and you know, get gum disease again. You know she you know, stuck with me. So, like for me personally, I know people come for dentistry for lots of reasons, some people you know, care about their smile and things like that. For me personally, it’s the health because I have a history of health issues in my family and I know the importance of, you know, taking care of your gums and you overall mouth and health so I would strongly recommend Doctor Rena if you really care about your health. If you really want somebody who’s not just trying to, you know, give you things you don’t need, but really, who’s trying to focus on what’s good for you, helping you achieve your goals. She’s very caring, very, very patient, very, very, gentle and, and, she’s there for you. So, it’s almost like having a partner in health who’s working with you to make your life better. So, we all need it, and especially as we get older when we are in our 40s and 50s, we need to take care of our health and without doctor Rena I don’t think I would have the comes I have and I don’t think I would be working on my health. Thank you very much Doctor Rena and I would, absolutely without a hesitation, recommend anybody and my entire family comes here as well as my two kids and My wife. So, thank you for being an amazing dentist and thank you for caring about people who live in the neighbourhood and their health.
