Posts for tag: preventative dentistry
Are you doing everything you can to keep your smile healthy? Dental sealants are recognized as an effective approach to preventing 
cavities in children and adults. Sealants are plastic coatings painted on the surfaces of the back teeth. Central Florida Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, which is located in Kissimmee, FL, offers a complete range of dental services, including sealants. Dr. Adel Mansour is one of the finest dentists in Kissimmee, FL.
Sealants Prevent Cavities
The most important reason for getting dental sealants is to prevent cavities. Dental sealants cover the chewing surfaces of the back teeth and protect these vulnerable areas from decay by "sealing out" food and plaque. The dental sealants are painted on the depressions and grooves of the teeth, forming a protective shield over your tooth enamel.
Protect Your Child's Teeth
Studies showed that dental sealants warded off tooth decay in high proportions of permanent teeth. Because of the likelihood of developing decay in the depressions and grooves of the back teeth, kids and teens are good candidates for dental sealants. However, adults without tooth decay or fillings in their back teeth can also benefit from dental sealants.
Save Money on Dental Work
Having dental sealants put on your back teeth before they decay will save you a lot of cash in the long run by avoiding dental fillings or crowns used to fix your teeth. The cost of sealants may be a small price to pay compared to the cost associated with dental work that may become necessary if your back teeth remain unprotected.
If you need dental sealants, why wait? We can help you today! Call Dr. Adel Mansour of Central Florida Cosmetic & Family Dentistry in Kissimmee, FL at 407-483-9990 now to schedule a dental appointment. We believe that everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile.
