Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease. Fortunately, there is an effective way to help prevent cavities: tooth sealants. Tooth sealants, like UltraSeal XT plus and UltraSeal XT hydro, are made of a clear or tooth-colored material that is placed over the surface of the back teeth. They “seal” the microscopic pits and crevices, creating a barrier against plaque and bacteria. According to a recent report by the Surgeon General, sealants can help prevent tooth decay by up to 70%. Using tooth sealants in combination with a good oral hygiene routine is the best way to keep your kids’ smiles cavity free.​
