New York Dental Practice Shares Why Dental Sealants Aren’t Just for Kids

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. - Jan. 27, 2016 - PRLog -- Dr. William P. Caldon, D.M.D., co-owner of Plattsburgh’s High Peaks Dental, offers help for adults seeking an inexpensive, painless way to prevent cavities.

Plattsburgh, NY — Jan 26, 2015 — Renowned Plattsburgh dentist Dr. William Caldon published a new blog post entitled “Dental Sealants: Not Just for Kids Anymore.” In the post, he shares who should get sealants and why and how sealants are applied to teeth.

Says Caldon, “Dental sealants are a plastic material applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to act as a barrier to cavity formation. You likely had dental sealants applied to your molars when you were a kid. Pit and fissure decay begins early in life and because children are often not the most thorough brushers, they are prime candidates for dental sealants. But what you may not be aware of is that dental sealants are a big help for preventing adult cavities too.”

Dr. Caldon has been a co-owner of High Peaks Dental since 1996 after serving in the

United States Air Force for 20 years and retiring as a Colonel. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville and his Bachelor’s from Thomas More College. In 2013, USA Today featured Caldon as one of America’s Premier Dentists.
