What are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. These surfaces often have deep grooves and pits where bacteria and food particles can accumulate, making them more susceptible to decay. Sealants act as a barrier to help prevent bacteria and acids from reaching the tooth enamel and causing cavities.

4 Benefits of Dental Sealants

Prevent Tooth Decay

Dental sealants create a protective barrier on the tooth’s surface, preventing bacteria and food particles from causing decay.

Painless Procedure

Applying dental sealants is a quick and non-invasive procedure that can be done in a single visit.

Cost-Effective

Sealants are a cost-effective way to prevent dental decay compared to treating cavities with fillings or other restorative treatments.

What to Expect

When you bring your child in for a dental sealant procedure, our expert dental team will begin by cleaning and drying the teeth to be sealed. We’ll then apply a gentle gel to enhance the sealant’s adhesion. After rinsing and drying once more, we’ll carefully apply the liquid sealant to the chewing surfaces of your child’s teeth. Using a special light, we’ll set the sealant. Lastly, we’ll check to make sure the sealants are properly bonded and provide you with instructions on how to care for them at home.
