Children's Oral Health: FAQ
Tooth Sealants refer to a plastic which a dentist bonds into the grooves of the chewing surface of a tooth as a means of helping to prevent the formation of tooth decay. In many cases, it is near impossible for children to clean the tiny grooves between their teeth. When a sealant is applied, the surface of the tooth is somewhat flatter and smoother. There are no longer any places on the chewing part of the tooth that the bristles of a toothbrush can't reach and clean.

When you talk about 260 linear feet, how do you measure?

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Department of Physical Pla...
In the case of floor tile, we simply take the square footage of the room; 160 square feet isn't much floor tile (16' x 10'). In the case of pipe insulation, we generally "eyeball it" since we are usually well below the 260 linear feet reporting requirement. Many pipe insulation lengths are each 3 feet, so 260' is roughly 90 lengths. Count one "T" or "L" as one length.

How do I find out how many Linear Feet I need to cover a certain area?

FAQs
First, determine how much square footage (area) you have to cover. If it's a wall 10' high and 50' long, that's 10'x50'=500 Square Feet. Next, pick the cypress product that you want to use. Determine the coverage for that product. The coverage (in inches) is shown on each of our product pages. Then, divide 12 by that number, and that new number is what we call a Conversion Factor. That Conversion Factor is how many linear feet you'll need of that product to cover one square foot of area.

Factoria Pediatric Dentistry
Sealants are a resin material that is placed on the chewing surfaces, which acts as a barrier against decay. Typically, posterior (back) teeth have deep pits and grooves that are impossible to keep clean. Bristles of a toothbrush cannot reach them. As you eat, food and bacteria get stuck and settle into these grooves. The bacteria then produce a harmful acid which in turn causes cavities. The resin material that is used in our office is white and also releases fluoride to the tooth.
