(913) 203-1031What are Dental Sealants?
Sealants are highly effective in preventing tooth decay and cavities on your molars and premolars. These areas are the most susceptible to cavities due to the naturally occurring grooves in the surfaces of the enamel. Food particles and bacteria can get stuck in these hard-to-reach grooves, causing decay over time. Even with good oral hygiene, it’s difficult to effectively clean these teeth with brushing and flossing alone.
Sealants act as a barrier and protect the enamel from plaque and acids. Typically, children get sealants on their permanent molars and premolars as soon as these teeth come in.
These sealants can protect the teeth through the cavity-prone years of ages six to 14. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
The process of applying sealants is easy, fast, and can be completed in just one visit. The application steps are as follows:
- We thoroughly clean the teeth.
- The teeth are dried.
- A liquid solution is put on the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
- The solution is cured using a special curing light.
Once your sealant is cured, you can resume your normal eating and hygiene routines.
