Sealing Your Teeth Might Save Your Smile (video)

General dentistry starts with regular dental cleanings and exams. But if you want to do a little more to protect your family’s smiles, then you should ask about dental sealants .

Many parents will request sealants for their children to provide an added layer of protection against bacteria and plaque. Sealants can be equally effective for adults, however.
