Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that protect the chewing surfaces of children's back teeth from decay

What are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to shield them against cavities. The natural grooves and pits on these teeth can trap food particles and bacteria, making them prone to decay. Dental sealants provide a barrier, preventing bacteria and food debris from accumulating and causing cavities. They are typically made of a safe and durable plastic resin that bonds to the tooth surface, forming a protective shield.

Preparing Dental Sealants

The process of applying dental sealants involves thorough cleaning, drying, and isolation of the tooth surface to ensure optimal bonding of the sealant material. The sealant is carefully painted onto the tooth surface, where it flows into the grooves and pits. It is then hardened using a special curing light, creating a strong bond with the tooth.

The entire process is painless and typically takes just a few minutes per tooth, without the need for drilling or anesthesia.

Fluoride at Your Dental Office

At each of your dental visits, until the age of 18, your dentist or hygienist will apply a fluoride treatment to your teeth. This concentrated fluoride should remain on your teeth for one minute and should not be rinsed away for at least a half an hour. This fluoride will strengthen the enamel and make your teeth more resistant to decay.

Benefits of Dental Sealants

Caring for dental sealants involves attending regular dental check-ups for professional evaluations and maintenance. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene through brushing with a fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and practicing a healthy diet is vital in preserving your dental sealants and overall oral health. It is also important to monitor the wear and tear of sealants over time, as they can gradually wear down. Your dentist will monitor their condition during regular check-ups and reapply them when necessary.
