This week on A Tale of Two Hygienists TIPisode we are joined
by Pediatric Dentist, Dr.Jeannette MacLean to talk to us about
sealants, and why she exclusively uses Glass Ionomer Sealants from
GC America.
Episode Highlights
-
Resin Based Sealants - The Cons
-
Glass Ionomer Sealants - Revolutionized Sealants
Quotes
“Resin is touted as being so strong and wear resistant, but it
is basically just plastic, there is no other redeeming quality to
the material other than providing a physical barrier”
“Retention of the Glass Ionomer Sealant is not necessary for
caries prevention"
“This basically blew my mind”
“The material actually acts as a fluoride reservoir and
releases and recharges with fluoride”
“My practice made the switch to Glass Ionomer Sealants,
exclusively using GC America’s Fuji Triage Sealant and we have
never looked back”
“We can get these sealants on basically anyone”
“The procedure is so quick and simple we typically do it right
at the appointment”
“We can usually get all 4 first permanent molars done on one
capsule of Fuji Triage in under 5 minutes, it's awesome!"
“If you are not using Glass Ionomer Sealants yet, now is the
time to make the switch, you will not regret it”
