What Are Dental Sealants and How Do They Work?
Think of sealants as an invisible shield for your teeth. A dental sealant is a thin, tooth-colored coating carefully applied to the deep grooves (pits and fissures) of your molars and premolars.
Back teeth are more vulnerable to decay because their grooves can be difficult to clean, even with good brushing habits. The sealant fills these areas, smoothing the surface and preventing plaque and bacteria from causing cavities.
Who Needs Dental Sealants?
Sealants are a cornerstone of preventive dental care for both children and adults.
Children & Teens:
The best time to apply sealants is when permanent molars and premolars appear usually between ages 6 and 14. Protecting these new teeth early helps prevent decay before it begins.
Adults:
Sealants can also benefit adults who have deep grooves in their molars or a history of cavities. Even teeth without fillings or decay can be sealed to reduce the risk of future damage.
Fast, Comfortable Protection in One Visit
Getting sealants is one of the quickest, easiest, and most comfortable treatments in dentistry.
1. Preparation: The tooth is cleaned and dried to help the sealant adhere properly.
2. Application: The sealant material is gently brushed onto the tooth surface and no drilling or needles needed.
3. Curing: A blue light hardens the sealant in seconds.
4. Finish: The tooth’s bite is checked, and you leave with added protection that lasts for years.
The whole process takes only a few minutes per tooth and is completely pain-free.
