Patient Testimonials.Our patients come back to us because we truly care about the care you receieve. Here are some of the things our amazing patients have to say about us: Dr. Courtney and her staff are super friendly and made me feel really comfortable. I had to get implants for two "baby" teeth i still had left b/c i never grew permanent teeth in their place. I had to be sedated for the operation and expected to be out of commission for a couples days and in a lot of pain the following week. However, that evening I felt surprisingly good with minimal pain. Lindsay B. Dr. Myers is the best. I have been a patient of his for about 5 years and every time I come he makes me feel super relaxed and at ease. I have had everything from a simple cleaning to crowns and everything is virtually painless afterwards. I would recommend him to any person who is seeking a great dentist and staff. Terri R. |
A sealant is a thin plastic coating that is bonded to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from penetrating the tiny grooves on the surfaces of the teeth preventing decay. While fluoride helps protect the smooth surfaces on the front and sides of teeth from decay, the back teeth have tiny grooves that a toothbrush cannot reach. Sealants can protect these back teeth and are a safe, painless and low-cost way to protect your child's back teeth from decay.
