How Dental Sealants Work
The chewing surfaces of your back teeth have small grooves and pits that can trap food particles and bacteria, making them vulnerable to decay — even with regular brushing. Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings painted onto these surfaces to seal out plaque and food, creating a smooth surface that is much easier to keep clean.
The Sealant Application Process
Applying dental sealants is quick, painless, and completely non-invasive. The tooth is first cleaned and dried, then a special solution is applied to help the sealant bond to the enamel. The sealant material is painted onto the tooth surface and hardened with a curing light. The entire process takes just a few minutes per tooth and requires no drilling or anesthesia.
Who Should Get Sealants?
While sealants are most commonly recommended for children as their permanent molars come in (around ages 6 and 12), adults can also benefit. If you have deep grooves in your molars and no existing decay or fillings, sealants can provide an extra layer of protection against cavities.
