Tooth sealants near Baden
Sealants to help protect deep grooves on back teeth.
Ironwood Dental in Guelph helps patients from Baden review tooth sealants for molars that are healthy but naturally harder to clean.
Why Baden patients ask about sealants
Sealants are a small step that can make back teeth easier to protect.
Families from Baden may ask about sealants when brushing the very back molars feels like a battle. Deep grooves can hold plaque even when a child is trying.
We assess whether the grooves are healthy and likely to benefit from sealing. If a tooth already has decay, we explain the restorative option instead.
Sealants are then checked as part of routine visits, so prevention does not end on the day they are placed.

What to expect at your tooth sealants visit.
Check the tooth surface
