The Dental Sealants Application Process
Applying dental sealants is a quick and comfortable process. Here’s what you can expect:
Examination: We’ll start by evaluating your teeth to ensure that sealants are a suitable option for you. We’ll also check for any existing cavities or damage to your teeth.
Cleaning: We’ll clean the surfaces of the teeth that will receive the sealant to ensure they are free of plaque and debris. This helps the sealant adhere properly.
Application: We’ll apply the sealant material to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. The sealant is then hardened using a special light.
Final Check: Once the sealant is set, we’ll make sure everything is comfortable and properly aligned.
Why Dental Sealants Are Important for Your Oral Health
Dental sealants serve as a barrier, covering the grooves of your teeth to prevent plaque and bacteria from building up, which can lead to cavities. The back molars are especially vulnerable to cavities because of their deep, narrow grooves that are difficult to clean with a toothbrush. Sealants effectively cover these areas, making it easier to maintain your oral health and prevent decay.
This non-invasive treatment is a simple and effective way to reduce the risk of future cavities, ensuring that your teeth remain healthy for years to come.
