Sealants

Dental sealants offer an extra layer of protection for children and teenagers, who are particularly susceptible to tooth decay due to their developing oral hygiene habits and the deep grooves on their newly erupted permanent teeth. Ultimately, sealants can help preserve your natural teeth by preventing the need for more extensive dental treatments in the future.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The dental sealant procedure is quick, painless, and non-invasive. It begins with a thorough cleaning from our dental professional. Afterward, they will apply a mild acidic solution to the chewing surfaces of your teeth to create a slightly rough texture. This helps the sealant adhere better to the tooth surface.

Next, they’ll apply the sealant material to the prepared tooth surface, which will quickly harden when exposed to a special curing light. Once bonded, our dental professional will ensure the sealant is properly placed, smoothing any rough edges and making necessary adjustments for maximum comfort.

Ensuring the Long-Term Benefits of Sealants

With proper care, dental sealants can provide long-term protection for your teeth. Here’s how you can maximize the benefits of your sealants:

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
• Floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy
• Schedule regular dental checkups
• Avoid biting hard objects or using your teeth as tools
