Dental Sealants

A dental sealant is a resin coating that a dentist permanently bonds to the chewing surfaces of molars, premolars, and canines.

The main purpose of a dental sealants procedure is to protect young teeth and their roots from cavities. Sealants cover smaller tooth surfaces with a protective film in order to prevent food particles and acids from damaging your teeth. Adults can also benefit from dental sealants.

Both children and adults can benefit from dental sealants in the fight against tooth decay. The younger you are, the better the sealant’s chances of working. Sealants are recommended for ages 6 and 12 when molars first start to appear in the mouth.

During the dental sealant procedure, the dentist applies a chemical solution that hardens into the clear sealant material inside the mold sealing away cavities and gaps between teeth. To conclude your dentistry session, they’ll remove the mold from your mouth and give you instructions on how to take care of your sealants.

A pulp infection occurs when a tooth’s innermost part, which contains blood vessels and nerves, becomes inflamed. Your dentist must treat this infection before placing a sealant over the affected tooth, as a sealant could make the condition worse by trapping bacteria inside.

Procedures involving dental sealants for kids and adults are typically painless and have no adverse effects. First, the dentist cleans and dries the tooth receiving the sealant. Next, they place the sealant onto the tooth’s chewing surface.
