Dental Sealants

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the surfaces of molars and premolars. These sealants act as a barrier, preventing bacteria and food particles from settling into the deep grooves and crevices of the teeth, where cavities commonly form.

Benefits of Dental Sealants

1. Cavity Prevention:

Sealants provide a protective shield, reducing the risk of cavities in the back teeth.

2. Early Intervention:

Applying sealants at a young age can help prevent cavities before they even begin.

3. Smooth Surface:

Sealants create a smoother surface on the chewing surfaces of the teeth, making them easier to clean.

4. Painless Application:

The application of sealants is a quick and painless process, requiring no anesthesia.

5. Cost-Effective Prevention:

Investing in sealants can be a cost-effective way to prevent future dental issues and expenses.

The Dental Sealant Process

1. Preparation: The tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned, and an absorbent material is placed to keep the area dry.

2. Application of Acidic Gel: A gentle acidic gel is applied to the chewing surface to create a rough texture, promoting better adherence.

3. Rinsing and Drying: The gel is rinsed off, and the tooth is dried before applying the sealant.

4. Application of Sealant: The liquid sealant is carefully applied to the tooth, filling in the grooves and pits.

5. Curing Process: A special light may be used to harden and bond the sealant to the tooth.
