About Dental Sealants
A dental sealant is a very thin invisible plastic coating applied on the grooves on the surface of the back teeth where chewing occurs. This sealant protects them from decay. Some teeth have very deep crevices and grooves, which tend to collect germs and food particles unless they’ve been covered with a sealant.
Most kids and teenagers who get cavities at an early age get them because of these food particles sticking to the surface in areas that are hard to clean.
DENTAL SEALANTS BENEFITS
Beautiful smiles for everybody
When our dentist applies the dental sealant it takes very little time, is easy, and pain-free. First, the tooth is thoroughly cleaned then a gel is applied on the chewing surface of the tooth for just a few seconds. The tooth is now washed and dried before the sealant is simply painted on the surface of the tooth.
To help the sealant to harden a light is shined on it. The result is a shield on the tooth that protects it.
