What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. These surfaces often have deep grooves and pits where bacteria and food particles can accumulate, making them more susceptible to decay. Sealants act as a barrier to help prevent bacteria and acids from reaching the tooth enamel and causing cavities.

What to Expect

 

When you come in for a dental sealant procedure, our skilled dental team will first thoroughly clean and dry the teeth to be sealed. Next, we’ll apply a special gel that helps the sealant adhere better. After rinsing and drying the teeth again, we’ll carefully paint the liquid sealant onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Using a special curing light, we’ll harden the sealant, creating a strong, protective barrier. Finally, we’ll check the sealants to ensure they’re properly bonded and provide instructions for maintaining them.
