A sealant is a preventive dental treatment that our dentist may recommend to protect patients' teeth from decay. A dental sealant is made of a clear or tooth-colored resin material, which is painted onto the chewing surface of teeth. By blocking out the bacteria and food debris that lead to tooth decay, the sealant prevents decay and cavities.
Dental sealants are often recommended as part of preventive general and family dentistry services designed to keep your smile healthy. The dental sealant forms a smooth coating over the natural pits and grooves of the tooth surface, which also makes it easier to effectively clean teeth with normal brushing.
Sealants can be a powerful tool in preventing decay and keeping your smile healthy. To learn more about dental sealants and how our team can keep your smile in good health, we welcome you to call or visit our office today.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental sealants last?
Dental sealants typically last several years with proper care, though your dentist will check them at regular checkups and reapply as needed.
Are dental sealants only for children?
No. While sealants are commonly recommended for children's back molars as soon as they erupt, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can benefit from them too.
Does getting a dental sealant hurt?
No. Applying a sealant is quick and painless — there's no drilling or anesthesia required, since the sealant is simply painted onto the tooth's surface and hardened with a special light.
