There are several ways to improve and maintain your oral and dental health. Most of us are familiar with the common ways, which is brushing teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist regularly.

At Trillium smile our goal is to educate our patients on not only how to prevent dental cavities, but also how to develop a healthy lifestyle to maintain their oral and dental health.

What is Dental Sealant?

Dental sealant is a simple and noninvasive procedure that effectively prevents decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth. Sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can’t reach.

Teeth naturally darken with age and their appearance can be also affected by the accumulation of surface stains acquired from consumption of certain foods or drinks or using tobacco.

Although teeth are not naturally meant to be completely white, a lot of people want to have a brighter smile. Responding to this desire, a wide range of “whitening” options has become available to consumers. These products fall into two main categories: Surface whiteners and bleaches.
