A dental sealant is a preventive treatment that our dentist may recommend to protect teeth from decay. Made from a clear or tooth-colored resin, the sealant is applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth, creating a barrier that prevents bacteria and food particles from causing cavities. By filling in the natural pits and grooves of the tooth surface, sealants make it easier to maintain oral hygiene through regular brushing.
Dental sealants are especially beneficial for children, often applied to permanent molars shortly after they erupt, typically between ages 6 and 12. However, our dentist may also suggest sealants for adults who are prone to decay or have teeth that haven’t been previously restored.
Applying dental sealants is a quick, comfortable process that can be completed in a single visit. This preventive step can greatly reduce the risk of cavities and help maintain a healthy smile.
To learn more about dental sealants or to schedule an appointment to see if they’re right for you or your child, contact our office today. We’re here to support you in achieving and maintaining excellent oral health.
