Cavities Aren't Your Fault!

Subject line: Cavities Aren’t Your Fault

You do your best to keep your teeth healthy. You brush regularly,
floss carefully and avoid cavity-causing foods. But no matter
how hard you try, sooner or later you get the bad news that
you’ve got ANOTHER cavity.

It’s frustrating, annoying and downright depressing. So let me give
you some good news I think will make you feel better. You’re Not Doing Anything Wrong First, those cavities probably aren’t your fault. Most likely they’re
the result of the way your teeth are made.

You see, your molars and pre-molars (AKA your back teeth)
are covered with ridges and grooves that help them do their job.
But those grooves are often so deep you just can’t clean them
thoroughly, no matter how carefully you brush. In fact, some
are so deep and narrow even a single tooth brush bristle
can’t get inside. Sometimes the palate surface of your top front
teeth have similarly uncleansable naturally occurring deep
central pits.

Lock Out Cavities in Just Minutes

Second – and this is the REAL GOOD NEWS – There’s
a way to protect those teeth so well that decay is totally locked
out. How? With a dental sealant that bonds to these grooves, protecting
them and creating a smooth, easy to clean surface.

Having your teeth protected with sealant is a breeze. Your
teeth are cleaned and treated briefly with a gel that briefly
roughens the surface. Then they’re cleaned again and the sealant
is painted on. That’s it! The sealant hardens in about a minute – and protects
your teeth for many many years. Sealants are routinely used in children and placed as their adult teeth grown in. However, they are equally effective on adults. As we get older, our enamel. is subject to constant acid attacks leading to decay. 80% of these cavites start in the grooves of the back teeth so if we detect the beginning of a weakening of your enamel, we will often recommend sealants on adults. Why wait until a cavity forms and weakens your tooth?
