Sealants and fluoride treatments in Edmonton

Sealants &
Fluoride Treatment.

Two Layers of Defence

Stop Cavities
Before They Start.

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They form a barrier preventing food particles and bacteria from settling into grooves, significantly reducing the risk of cavities.

Fluoride treatments are a concentrated application of a natural mineral that strengthens enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. Together, these treatments offer a comprehensive approach to cavity prevention.
