What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth have grooves and pits that are difficult to clean thoroughly with brushing alone, making them more susceptible to cavities. Sealants fill in these grooves, creating a smooth surface that helps keep food particles and plaque from building up.

What to Expect During Your Dental Sealant Application

At Generational Dentistry, we make the process of getting dental sealants easy and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Quick and Painless Procedure: Applying dental sealants is a quick, painless procedure. We’ll first clean and dry the teeth before applying the sealant. It’s then hardened using a special light, creating a protective shield.
  • No Need for Drilling: Unlike other dental treatments, dental sealants don’t require drilling or numbing. It’s a fast and non-invasive treatment that makes a big difference in your oral health.
  • Long-Lasting Protection: Dental sealants can last for several years, depending on your oral care habits. We’ll check the sealants during your routine exams to ensure they are still intact and effective.
