Why is Sealing a Tooth Better Than Waiting for Decay and Filling a Cavity? Sealants help to maintain sound, intact teeth. Decay destroys the structure of the tooth. Each time a tooth is filled or a filling is replaced, additional tooth structure is lost. Amalgam fillings last an average of six to eight years before they need to be replaced. Appropriate use of sealants can save time, money and the discomfort associated with restorative dental procedures. What if Microscopic Amounts of Decay are Inadvertently Sealed ? If decay and decay-causing bacteria are trapped beneath the sealant, they will stop multiplying. T
