What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth are prone to cavities due to their grooves and pits, which can trap food particles and bacteria. Sealants help by creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay. Learn more about our general dentistry services designed to protect young smiles.
Why Are Dental Sealants Important for Kids?
Children are particularly susceptible to cavities as they develop good oral hygiene habits. Dental sealants offer a proactive approach to oral health by:
- Providing a barrier against plaque and bacteria.
- Simplifying cleaning for hard-to-reach areas.
- Saving time and money by preventing cavities and the need for fillings.
How Are Dental Sealants Applied?
The application process is simple, quick, and completely painless:
- Cleaning: The tooth is thoroughly cleaned to ensure a strong bond.
- Preparation: The surface is treated to help the sealant adhere.
- Application: The liquid sealant is painted onto the tooth and hardened with a special light.
In just a few minutes, your child’s teeth will have an extra layer of defense against decay. Learn more about protecting teeth with fluoride treatments and other preventive solutions.
