Dental Sealants at the Dentist


Dental sealants are protective coatings we put in areas that are especially prone to cavities. They’re usually covered by insurance and only take a few minutes to apply. It’s best to put sealants on permanent molars as soon as they erupt. But since they’re not permanent, you might need occasional touch-ups and have to avoid really sticky foods that can pull them off of your teeth. Let's talk about what to expect when getting a sealant placed at the dentist!

Dental Root Canal Step By Step


Let's watch a root canal procedure! A root canal procedure is one of the best ways to preserve an abscessed or dying tooth. Your dentist or endodontist will clean the tooth out, seal it off, then top it off with a crown. The overall length and root canal cost will depend on how many roots are involved. The best thing to do is talk to your dentist or endodontist for an itemized care plan!
