Preventive Approach
At Cochrane Valley Dental, we focus on preventive dental care to support long-term oral health. If you are looking for a Dentist in Cochrane, dental sealants may be considered as a preventive option to help protect the grooves of back teeth from decay. A thin coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth to help reduce the accumulation of food particles and bacteria.

BENEFITS
Sealants form a protective layer over tooth surfaces, which may help reduce plaque buildup in grooves.
Molars have deep surfaces that can be difficult to clean effectively with brushing alone.
Application is quick and does not typically require drilling or anesthesia.
Sealants may help reduce the likelihood of future restorative dental treatments.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Sealants are made from a dental resin material that bonds to the surface of the tooth.
Sealants may last several years and are checked during routine dental visits.
Sealants are commonly used for children, but adults may also be suitable depending on their dental condition.
