That\u2019s why brushing and flossing are so important. By maintaining a regular brushing and flossing routine, you\u2019re giving your smile the protection it needs to stay strong and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>But even the best brushers need a little help sometimes. That\u2019s why, at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/\">Dr. Hornstein\u2019s Beachwood office<\/a>, we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental sealants<\/a>. <strong>Dental sealants<\/strong> let us give your smile that extra little bit of protection it needs in areas that may be harder to protect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are Dental Sealants and How Do They Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dental sealants<\/strong> are applied directly to your teeth after they\u2019ve been cleaned and dried. Then, they\u2019re hardened with a curing light, turning them from a liquid into a thin plastic film. This thin film acts like a barrier for food particles, keeping them away from vulnerable parts of your smile and helping you maintain your optimal oral health.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, <strong>dental sealants<\/strong> can be applied in very little time\u2014anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes, depending on how many teeth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/meet-dr-hornstein.html\">Dr. Hornstein<\/a> will be sealing.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to know more about <strong>dental sealants<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/contact.html\">contact our <strong>Beachwood dental office<\/strong><\/a> to schedule an appointment with <strong>Dr. Hornstein<\/strong>.
