 Many people, including dentists, have the false belief that getting cavities which then lead to bigger and bigger fillings is simply a part of life and unavoidable. This is false and inaccurate. You can avoid cavities and fillings with biomimetic dentistry. The method of treatment has the ability to give your tooth a 90% protection against cavities for your entire life with a permanent sealant. In the past, dentists have used traditional paint-on plastic sealants attempting to prevent cavities, but over time, even the best traditional sealants fail.
