On the surface of the rear (chewing) teeth groove narrower and deeper, so to clean them can be difficult and often impossible, and usually there is formed cavities. That is why dentists offer us to use the service - application of dental sealants, through which the chewing surfaces of teeth becomes more flat, even and, consequently, to clean the teeth with the toothbrush turns out much more carefully.
Typically, dental sealants are put on a well teething as early as childhood. But as practice shows, application of sealant may perform well in adulthood, although the need for this is much lower.
The durability of sealant depends on many factors. If sealants are shown correctly and professionally, they are no less than 5 years, but often much longer. Sometimes there are adult patients who sealants were applied as early as childhood.

In teeth constantly occur two opposing processes - demineralization and mineralization of recovery (remineralization): due to the effect of microorganisms (bacteria) and plaques (attacks on the tooth surface) at the beginning of the tooth enamel, and then from the solid tissue of the tooth actually released minerals, such as calcium, resulting in teeth demineralization. Saliva acts on this process neytralizuyusche, postponing the excess minerals back into the solid substance of the teeth, due to this happening remineralization of teeth.
