Dental Sealants

Applying dental sealants is a quick, easy and painless procedure.

Removal of the tooth structure is not needed. Also, no shots, drilling, or anesthesia would be required.

We will clean your teeth and apply a special gel to the chewing surface for a couple of seconds before wiping it off and drying the tooth. The sealant can be painted directly on the tooth when it has dried. We use a curing light to harden the sealant, which takes about a minute.

For both children and adults, sealants will be applied to permanent teeth. Tooth decay begins early in life, making children and adolescents the ideal candidates for the treatment. Dentists regard dental sealants as a vital aspect of preventive dental treatment for children and teenagers.

We recommend sealants for the back teeth and the molars and premolars. Around the age of six, children usually grow their first molars, and the second starts to appear after the age of 12. Our recommendation is to seal these teeth before decay has the opportunity to breed.

A cost-effective solution that is both safe and painless and provides a line of protection against oral decay is to opt for sealants. It helps to protect your mouth and that of your family against bacteria. Dental sealants are long-lasting before they need to be applied again.

Even if you exercise oral hygiene effectively at home, you need to know that the toothbrush cannot penetrate food particles and plaque that may be found in the deep grooves. But with dental sealants, there would be no possibility for plaque and food particles to reach the region.

Note that the tooth is permanently damaged after decay has grown. Therefore, you should always look forward to adhering to a strict oral care program at home. The American Dental Association advises that at least 2-3 times a day, you clean your teeth, floss, get healthy meals, and keep away from sugar drinks.
