What are Fluoride Free Dental Sealants?
At Bloom Holistic Dentistry in Atlanta, we offer fluoride-free dental sealants as a safe and effective alternative to traditional sealants. Dental sealants are a protective coating that is applied to the biting surface of molars and premolars to prevent cavities from forming. Fluoride-free dental sealants are similar to traditional sealants, but they are made without fluoride, a mineral that is commonly added to dental products to prevent tooth decay.
Why Choose Fluoride Free Dental Sealants?
There are several reasons why you might choose fluoride-free dental sealants. For some patients, fluoride can cause sensitivity or an allergic reaction. Others may be concerned about the potential risks of ingesting too much fluoride. Fluoride-free dental sealants offer a safe and effective alternative for patients who want to protect their teeth without exposure to fluoride.
How Are Fluoride Free Dental Sealants Applied?
The process of applying fluoride-free dental sealants is quick and painless. First, the teeth are cleaned and dried to prepare them for the sealant application. Then, a thin layer of the sealant material is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth. A special light is used to harden the sealant and ensure that it bonds to the tooth surface. The entire process usually takes only a few minutes per tooth.
How Effective Are Fluoride Free Dental Sealants?
Fluoride-free dental sealants are just as effective as traditional sealants in preventing tooth decay. The sealant material acts as a barrier, protecting the tooth from harmful bacteria and food particles that can cause cavities. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, fluoride-free dental sealants can provide long-lasting protection against cavities and other dental problems.
