Dental Sealants in New Westminster
Dental sealants are a simple and effective way to protect teeth from cavities. At Queen’s Park Dental in New Westminster, we offer sealants as a preventive treatment to help patients maintain healthy smiles.
Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, where cavities are most likely to develop. These areas often have deep grooves that can trap food and bacteria, making them difficult to clean with regular brushing.
