Dental sealants are a preventive dental treatment designed to protect the chewing surfaces of your teeth, particularly the molars and premolars, from decay. These sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the grooves and pits of your teeth, where food particles and bacteria are most likely to get trapped. By forming a smooth, protective barrier, dental sealants help prevent cavities and maintain oral health, especially in children and teenagers who are at higher risk for tooth decay.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Sealants
Who can benefit from dental sealants?
Dental sealants are most commonly recommended for children and teenagers, as they are more prone to cavities in the grooves and pits of their molars; however, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
How are dental sealants applied?
The application process is simple and quick. First, the teeth are cleaned and dried. Then, an acidic gel is applied to roughen the tooth surface, which helps the sealant bond better. After rinsing off the gel, the sealant is painted onto the tooth enamel and hardened with a special light.
How long do dental sealants last?
With proper care, dental sealants can last up to 10 years. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of the sealants and reapply them if necessary.
Are dental sealants visible?
Dental sealants are usually clear, white, or slightly tinted to match the natural color of your teeth. They are not easily noticeable when you smile or talk.
Are there any side effects of dental sealants?
Dental sealants are safe and have no known side effects. They provide an additional layer of protection against cavities without affecting the natural tooth structure.
