Sealants work just like they sound, sealing out food particles from your molars. You may be great at brushing and flossing your teeth but cavities can still happen. Food, especially sticky foods stay around in those hard to reach places. Sealants help cavities from occurring.
Since sealants are applied to your molars, it is best to get them as soon as they come through. We recommend children and teens ages 6-14 or adults without fillings or decay get sealants applied to their teeth. We paint the sealants on your pre-molars with a clear, slightly tinted or white colour depending on what is best for you. Our two types of sealants are glass lonomer and composite resin, both a type of white filling.
To help you prevent cavities, we offer sealants to protect your teeth.
● Less shrinkage than a composite resin sealant ● Acid based reaction ● Highest fluoride release of all the sealants ● Stiffest kind of sealant
Composite Resin Sealants
● More shrinkage on setting than a glass lonomer sealant ● Acid free bonding but a resin dentin bonding ● Less fluoride release as a sealant ● Little expansion after water emission in comparison to glass lonomer sealants
Open on Saturday and during the week nights, we can book you in for a dental appointment when most offices will be closed. Our friendly staff will provide you with a personalized dental experience, taking care of your tooth and gum needs. Our certified professionals will accommodate sedation requirements during your procedure to help get rid of those nerves.
At Franklin Dental, there is no need to worry once your appointment is complete because we follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide so your dental experience can be an affordable venture.
Currently, we are taking on new patients and want you to be the next one. Call us to book your appointment with one of our dental personnel. When visiting Franklin Dental for the first time, you can expect a comprehensive oral exam and x-rays.
We will walk through our assessment of your teeth and gums, then discuss future treatments that are individually suited to you. You will leave Franklin Dental with a confident, proud smile.
