What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are quick and easy treatments that shield the teeth from cavities and tooth decay. Your dentist applies a thin resin coating over the enamel, rapidly bonding to the surface and protecting it from decay. While good dental hygiene is necessary to prevent tooth decay, sealant for teeth provides protection in areas that you may miss during brushing and flossing.

Benefits of Dental Sealants

There are many benefits to tooth sealants, including:

Quick to apply
Comfortable, painless treatment
Decreases your risk of tooth decay
Long-lasting and durable
Can be used for children and adults
Affordable
Invisible treatment

Who Needs Dental Sealants?

Every patient is different; some people are naturally predisposed to cavities and tooth decay. If you have a diet that is higher in sugar or your enamel is weaker due to genetics, dental sealants are a proactive method for controlling tooth decay.

There are dental sealants for adults and children, so they can be used for people of all ages. Ask your dentist if dental sealants are right for you!

How Are Dental Sealants Applied?

Dental sealants are a rapid and painless treatment! It only takes a few minutes per tooth to be treated. Here’s how it works:

The dentist will thoroughly clean the teeth.
The teeth being treated are dried and surrounded by cotton to prevent saliva from forming.
An acid solution is applied to the enamel to allow the sealant to bond to the teeth.
The teeth are rinsed and dried again.
Sealant is painted onto the tooth and quickly sets in place.
The dentist will apply a white curing light to harden the sealant completely.

How Long Does The Sealant Last?

Dental sealants can protect your teeth for about 2-4 years! While tooth sealants may last up to 9 years, they do become less effective over time. It’s important to visit us for regular cleanings, so we can monitor the sealant and make sure it is performing properly. If the sealant is chipped or worn, your dentist will need to reapply it.

Sealants for teeth are a preventative measure, not a replacement for proper dental hygiene. To protect the enamel properly, you need to brush and floss your teeth twice a day.
