We offer a wide range of dental procedures for treating a variety of problems, but prevention is always the best strategy. In addition to proper brushing and flossing at home, sealants are also a treatment that is designed to protect your teeth from decay and other dental problems. Discover how sealants are a preventative treatment that can save you tons of time and stress.

How Can Sealants Prevent Damage to Your Teeth?

A sealant is a material that is applied to your teeth. From there, it seeps into the cracks and crevices of your tooth before hardening, forming a protective shell that prevents bacteria and debris from entering. Sealants typically last 5-10 years, offering an unparalleled degree of protection for years to come.

Who are the Most Ideal Candidates for Dental Sealants?

While anyone who wants extra protection for their teeth can opt for a dental sealant, the most popular use is on teens. The ages of 6-16 are the most common times that children are susceptible to cavities,  so providing dental sealants during this crucial age range can vastly reduce the damage sustained by the teeth. Although young people are the prime candidates for dental sealants, patients who struggle with cavities or gum disease may also benefit from the treatment.

Dental Sealants – A Simple, Painless Procedure

If you’re considering investing in a dental sealant, you’ll be glad to know that it’s a convenient, virtually painless procedure. Using a liquid resin, a member of our dental team will evenly spread the resin across your teeth, ensuring that it completely covers the crevices of every tooth. Once it’s brushed into your teeth to harden, your protective sealant is in place, completing the procedure.
