Enhance Your Dental Protection with King Dental

Dental Sealants to protect tooth cracks and crevicesDr. Wendell King and his team at King Dental specialize in offering dental sealant services. Dental sealants act as an impenetrable barrier, shielding your teeth from food particles and preventing bacterial contact, especially in the fissures and crevices of your back teeth.

Why Opt for Dental Sealants?

Navigating the intricate nooks and crannies of teeth can be challenging, particularly for children. Despite diligent brushing, harmful debris can still lurk in these hard-to-reach areas, leading to decay. Dr. King employs high-quality dental sealants to form a protective shield over your teeth, significantly mitigating the risk of dental issues.

Who Should Consider Dental Sealants?

  • Children: We strongly advocate for our young patients to receive dental sealants to robustly combat the onset of cavities, fostering a cavity-free journey to adulthood.
  • Adults with Decay Issues: Adult patients grappling with decay can also massively benefit from the enhanced protection provided by dental sealants, ensuring the maintenance of a healthy and vibrant smile.

A tooth that has been knocked out starts to die within 15 minutes. If you put it in milk or hold it in your mouth, it will survive longer.

Ancient Egyptians even had a god of toothaches, known as the "Tooth Worm".

One in four adults admits they don’t brush twice a day, including a third of men.

After eating, it takes saliva up to an hour to neutralize the acidity created by decay-producing bacteria.

Teeth can't self-repair in the same way that bones can. This is why filling cavities and maintaining proper oral care is so important.

Stress can lead to issues such as teeth grinding or dry mouth.
