Dental sealants
Sealants are a simple preventive treatment that helps protect the grooves of molars from developing cavities. The material flows into the natural pits of the tooth and creates a smooth barrier, making those hard-to-clean areas easier to keep healthy.
They’re commonly recommended for children, but adults with deep grooves or higher cavity risk can benefit as well.
What sealants supports
- Lower cavity risk in molars
- Protection for deep grooves
- Easier cleaning at home
- Added peace of mind for parents
Why sealants matter
Molars do most of the chewing, which makes them more likely to trap food and bacteria. Sealants help prevent early decay by protecting these vulnerable surfaces. They’re quick, comfortable, and long-lasting — a small step that can prevent bigger issues.
What happens during placement
We clean and prepare the tooth, apply the sealant material, and cure it with a light so it hardens within seconds. There’s no drilling and no discomfort.
You’ll leave knowing exactly how the sealant works and when it should be checked or refreshed during future visits.
