Preventive Dentistry in Stevensville
Fluoride & Sealants
Targeted preventive treatments can strengthen vulnerable tooth surfaces and protect deep grooves where decay is more likely to begin.
Treatment overview
Fluoride & Sealants: what to know.
Professional fluoride may be recommended for patients with elevated cavity risk, exposed root surfaces, dry mouth, clear-aligner treatment, or other clinical factors.
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings placed over selected chewing surfaces. They do not replace brushing, flossing, nutrition, or regular examinations, but they can add protection in decay-prone grooves.

Answers before you schedule.
Every recommendation begins with an examination and a conversation about your health, priorities, and options.
Are sealants only for children?
No. Adults may also benefit when selected teeth have deep grooves and are otherwise suitable for sealing.
How long do sealants last?
Longevity varies. Sealants can wear or chip and should be checked during routine dental visits.
Does fluoride replace good brushing?
