At our family dental practice, we want to see you and your loved one smiling every time you come to see us. That is much more likely when your smiles are cavity-free. To get sealants for yourself or someone in your family, call 512-598-9906 for an appointment at Sabal Dental.
You already know that brushing and flossing your teeth daily can reduce your risk of cavities. You also know that professional dental cleanings can go a long way toward keeping your smile free from tooth decay. Even so, more than 90 percent of people will develop cavities.
Sealants are a simple and low-cost service that adds another layer of protection to your family’s teeth. The American Dental Association has found that this protective coating can reduce the likelihood of cavities in your molars by up to 80 percent. Research also has shown that kids with sealants are a third less likely to develop tooth decay as kids who don’t have them. Many parents will pay for sealants for their children, but you should know that sealants work for adults, too.
Getting sealants is easy, too. We follow these steps:
Sealants can last from five to 10 years, which makes them a worthwhile investment in a healthy mouth – especially when compared to the cost of tooth fillings, root canals, and dental crowns.
Don’t lose your healthy smile to tooth decay! Instead, come to us for dental sealants in Rockdale, TX. Call 512-598-9906 or schedule online to make your appointment at Sabal Dental.
The staff and hygienist are so kind and understanding. When I need a quick cleaning, they are efficient and get me out with a nice clean smile in 30 minutes ! And Dr Thompson worked well with my PTSD from childhood dental abuse. I’m no longer scared of the big bad needle. I got a crown that didn’t hurt at all! He’s the best !
It was my first time going to a dentist in years and they made it very comfortable for me. They told me step by step what they were going to do before they did it. Made conversation and gave me solid advice. I’d definitely recommend them 🙂
very pleasant appointment! Dr. Stewart and William were awesome! -They both made sure I was comfortable before, during, and after my procedure. The front staff was friendly! I also felt like I was taken care of in a timely manner.
Had a horrible experience with my previous dentist so I decided to try out Sabal dental which was recommended by a few friends. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I had to come back in for a filling 2 weeks after my first appointment and was in and out within an hour pain free. Love Love Love this office!
I called Sabal Dental to schedule an appointment for my mom because she was having tooth pain. Alicia did a great job verifying her insurance & was able to schedule her the same day for X-rays, an exam & a cleaning. Hilda did a great job, my mother felt very comfortable during the cleaning & she could not be any happier with the treatment plan recommended by Dr. Montalvo, we left with the next appointment scheduled. Thank you Sabal Dental for taking good care of my mother.
I’ve been coming here to Sabal Dental for about two years now and I actually look forward to coming here for my dental check ups. I love the fact that they send out reminders and that they also call you, being that I travel they always try to accommodate my schedule. Plus the staff is just awesome. Thanks 👍🏽
I found the staff personable, friendly, and efficient. I was very pleased with my first experience at Sabal Dental. Thanks for an excellent first visit with Jessica, Allison, and Dr. Blankenship.
I have been going to Sabal dental for over a year now. I went in today to have some Crown work performed. Jolene did an excellent job explaining the procedure and what was going to be done to make me feel completely relaxed. Doctor Sperry took her time to make sure that I was comfortable during the whole procedure. I would highly recommend this dental clinic for any work or general cleaning anyone might need.
A dental sealant is an ultra-thin coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. Those surfaces have grooves where bacteria can collect and cause cavities. Sealants create a barrier to keep the bacteria out. Once applied, sealants lessen the risk of decay by about 80 percent.
We often recommend applying sealants to a child’s premolars and permanent molars as soon as they come in – around ages 6 and 12, respectively. According to the CDC, school-age children without sealants have nearly three times more cavities than children with them. Cavity-prone adults may benefit from sealants too.
Brushing with a toothpaste that contains fluoride at least two times a day is essential in preventing cavities, as is daily flossing. Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you’re unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask our team about dental sealants to make your teeth less cavity-prone.
