Thanks for an informative description of the effect of sealants. Here is my story showing that sealants are effective in protection of decay.
At first glance my twin-sister? and my teeth look very much alike ? pearly white and perfect. But getting behind the scene tells something different. For practical reasons our mom took my twin-sister to her dentist, while my dad took me to his. My sister got sealants on all her molars, I didn?t. We grew up together, are brought up with the same dental health habits and the same diet. Her dental sealants have protected her molars from decay, while I had decay in all my molars ? now filled with white fillings. So, sealants are great investments in healthy teeth. My sister has perfect and strong teeth and will probably newer get any problems with her teeth, while I have weaker teeth with a lot of fillings. The route ahead of me is paved with dental treatments the rest of my life because these fillings are not lasting forever and need to be repaired. The dental treatments will become more and more expensive when the fillings become larger and deeper. I will not hesitate to ask my dentist to seal my children? teeth when it becomes actual.
