Highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, preventive resins are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic "coating" is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively "seals" the deep grooves acting as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids.
Preventive resins protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can't reach.
Easy to apply, resins take only a few minutes to protect each tooth. If properly cared for, preventive resins hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed. Avoiding hard/crunchy foods will increase longevity.
Children and adults can benefit from protective resins in the fight against tooth decay.
