What are Dental Sealants?
​
Dental sealants are highly effective at preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth. This simple procedure involves painting a tooth-colored acrylic coating onto the tooth’s surface.
Sealants work by sealing the deep grooves, creating a barrier that protects the enamel from plaque and acids.
They guard the depressions and grooves of your teeth against food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can’t reach.
Applying dental sealants is quick and easy, taking only a few minutes per tooth. They withstand normal chewing forces and can last for several years before needing reapplication.
Both children and adults can benefit from dental sealants to combat tooth decay.

Common Questions About Dental Sealants
How long do dental sealants last?
Dental Sealants can last up to 10 years. Since the 1970s, dental sealants have been a reliable method for preventing cavities and protecting teeth. Primarily applied to the chewing surfaces, these sealants can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay. Their durability varies, but many sealants can last for several years. If a sealant wears off, a new one can be easily applied. It’s essential to remember that sealants only protect the specific surfaces they cover. For comprehensive protection against decay and cavities, continue using fluoride and practicing other preventative dental care.
Who can get sealants?
Dental sealants are ideal for healthy teeth that are free from cavities. Typically, they are applied to permanent molars shortly after they emerge, usually around ages 6 and 12. However, adults can also benefit from dental sealants. This is especially true if their childhood sealants have worn off or if they are experiencing cavities for the first time.
Investing in affordable dental sealants can help prevent the need for more extensive and costly oral health treatments in the future.
Do dental sealants require any special care?
​No, you can care for your dental sealants just like you care for your natural teeth.
Are dental sealants painful?
No, applying dental sealants is a painless and non-invasive procedure.
