What are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars and premolars. These teeth have grooves and pits that can trap food particles and bacteria, making them more prone to cavities. Sealants act as a barrier, keeping out harmful debris and bacteria to prevent decay.

Benefits of Dental Sealants

1.

Prevent Cavities

Dental sealants are highly effective in preventing cavities in children and teenagers. They can significantly reduce the risk of decay on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.

2.

Long-lasting Protection

Sealants can last for several years, providing ongoing protection against cavities. We’ll check them regularly during your child’s checkups and reapply them as needed.

3.

Safe and Painless

The application of dental sealants is a quick and painless procedure. There are no needles or drilling involved, making it a comfortable experience for children.

4.

Cost-Effective

Preventing cavities with sealants can save you time and money in the long run by reducing the need for fillings or other more extensive dental treatments.

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), sealants can reduce your child’s risk of tooth decay by nearly 80% on permanent molars!

Dental Sealant Procedure: What to Expect

Applying dental sealants is a simple and straightforward process. Here’s what you can expect during your child’s appointment at All Smiles Dental Studio:

  1. Cleaning: We’ll thoroughly clean and dry the tooth surface to prepare it for the sealant.
  2. Preparing the Surface: A special gel is applied to the tooth surface to help the sealant bond securely.
  3. Sealant Application: The liquid sealant is carefully painted onto the chewing surface of the tooth, filling in the grooves and fissures.
  4. Curing the Sealant: A special light is used to harden the sealant, creating a strong and durable protective barrier.

When Are Sealants Recommended?

Dental sealants are most effective when applied soon after the permanent molars erupt, typically between the ages of 6 and 14. However, adults can also benefit from sealants if they have deep grooves in their teeth and are prone to cavities. Dr. Shahrokh will assess your child’s individual needs and recommend sealants if they are appropriate.
