Sealants in Columbia, SC
At Marc Berger Choice Dentistry, we believe prevention is the best form of dental care.
One of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent cavities is with dental sealants.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars).
These areas are especially vulnerable to decay because of their deep grooves, which easily trap food and bacteria. Sealants act as a shield, keeping out plaque and reducing the risk of cavities.
