Sealants Shorewood

Dr. Kurt Faber and Dr. Jonathan Faber provide Shorewood, Joliet and Plainfield patients with sealants to help protect their teeth and prevent infection and decay.

What are sealants?

Sealants are a thin, plastic coating that is painted onto the chewing surfaces of your teeth, typically the premolars and molars. This painted liquid quickly bonds into the grooves and depressions of the teeth to form a shield.

The grooves of the teeth are susceptible to decay, and they are extremely narrow making it difficult to clean. With the use of sealants, Dr. Kurt Faber and Dr. Jonathan Faber can help Shorewood, Joliet and Plainfield dental patients prevent infection and decay.

Am I a candidate for sealants?

Typically, common sealant patients are children and teenagers. At these ages, the likelihood of developing decay in the depressions and groves of premolars and molars are very high. Sealants can help patients in their cavity prone years of ages 6-14.

Adults can also be good sealant candidates. In some cases, sealants are recommended for baby teeth when there are depressions and grooves. These baby teeth will help hold the correct spacing for adult, permanent teeth.
