Recently, national and local media have published reports regarding the health concerns over Bisphenol-A and its use in plastic bottles, cans and home electronics.  Unfortunately, the general category of “dental sealants” has been incorrectly added to the items of concern.

Dental Sealants and materials use a material called Bis GMA.  Bis GMA is a very stable resin monomer, whereas, Bisphenol A Dimethacrylate is a much less stable resin monomer.  Although the names are similar, the chemicals are not.  Bis GMA is well known, well established, and has been widely used by many dental manufacturers since the sixties.  Bisphenol A Dimethacrylate is not used in the materials used in this dental office.  We pride ourselves in using quality products and materials to provide the highest quality of dentistry.
