Sealants
Sealants are a plastic resin material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of premolars and molars. Sealants protect the deep depressions and grooves of your teeth that toothbrush bristles cannot reach from plaque and acids that contribute to dental decay.
Although sealant generally lasts several years before a reapplication is needed., but our dentist will check your sealant during every appointment to make sure they are retained.
Mouthguards
All contact sports persons – children and adults should wear a mouthguard to protect their teeth against blows to the face or mouth. A properly fitted mouthguard can help prevent broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face, or jaw.
While there are many types of mouthguard options, the best is a custom-made mouthguard explicitly designed for your teeth. Ask your contact sports dentist about custom options to protect your mouth.
