Dental sealants
Back teeth have deep grooves that can trap food and bacteria — even with excellent brushing. Sealants create a thin, smooth barrier over these grooves, lowering the chance of cavities and making home care much easier. They’re especially effective for children and teens, but many adults benefit from added protection as well.
What the appointment looks like
- The tooth is cleaned and prepared
- Sealant material is applied gently to the chewing surface
- A light is used to set the material
- No drilling or freezing is required, and most patients don’t feel a thing
Once placed, the surface becomes smoother and easier to brush effectively.
Why sealants help long term
By reducing the risk of decay in the deepest grooves, sealants help preserve natural enamel and may prevent the need for fillings down the road. They’re a small investment that can make a meaningful difference in oral health over the years.
