Even if you clean your teeth thoroughly, there may still be plaque and food particles stuck in places that are difficult to get. The tiny fissures and grooves in your teeth make it tough for your toothbrush to reach everywhere that it needs to. Tooth decay can form in certain spots if they are ignored for too long. When you get sealants from Lovett Dentistry, your teeth will be more protected against decay and cavities.
Dentists use dental sealants, which are plastic resins that harden in the deep depressions of your teeth. After having their small crevices filled, teeth are less likely to accumulate plaque. Dental sealants improve the efficiency and convenience of tooth brushing.
Sealants have a potential five-year lifespan, yet it's not uncommon to find them in place on adults. Your new dental sealants may last longer with proper home care and routine visits to our Houston, Texas dentists.
When a tooth has decay, cracks, fractures, etc., composite fillings (fillings that blend in with the tooth's color) are used to restore the tooth. Tooth decay or damage will be removed, and then a tooth-colored composite filling will be bonded in its place.
Composite fillings are preferable for usage in front teeth and other highly visible portions of the teeth due to their natural appearance and the ease with which they may be matched to the color of natural teeth.
If you want your new fillings to last as long as possible, it's important to maintain a healthy diet, great oral hygiene, and frequent dental checkups in Houston, Texas.
