Protect Your Beautiful Smile With Dental Sealants


Dental sealants are a customized and dependable preventative measure of oral care. A dental sealant is a protective layer that is applied to the surfaces of teeth. This protective layer prevents the build-up of germs, foodstuffs, and plaque from the crevices of the tooth’s surface!

How Are Dental Sealants Placed?

Getting dental sealants done on your teeth is a straightforward and quick process that can be completed in minutes. Our dentist thoroughly cleans your teeth, then dries the surface and prepares them for sealant application. Once the teeth are ready, our dentist will bond the sealant directly onto the grooves of the teeth. Most commonly, dentists recommend applying sealants to the chewing surfaces in the back of your mouth. This is because these teeth are the hardest to reach when it comes to brushing and flossing!

Who Is A Candidate This This Procedure?

Dental sealants are recommended for children and teenagers. This treatment is an effective preventive measure for cavities and tooth decay. In fact, dental sealants prevent 80% of cavities over two years in the back teeth, where nine in ten cavities occur.

There is good reason to protect teeth with a sealant early on. Once a tooth develops into a cavity, many problems can occur, leading to more complicated and invasive treatments. Cavities are painful and can lead to infections developing in the mouth. Furthermore, once a tooth develops a cavity and requires a filling, you can no longer apply a sealant to it.

Adults with a history of cavities, poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, eating disorders, tooth grinding, or clenching should consider dental sealants as well. Adults become more at risk of cavities over time due to exposure. Dental sealants protect and preserve decaying teeth and make-up for the loss of the natural protective quality of teeth.

Tips To Prevent Cavities And Care For Dental Sealants

Brushing and flossing are effective measures to prevent cavities, but most people have difficulty cleaning their rear teeth, which leads to the buildup of plaque and germs. Ensure you’re brushing your dental sealant carefully, as applying too much effort can cause it to become displaced. Avoid using your teeth as tools or chewing on hard meals, as these activities can also harm the sealant substance.
