Dental Sealants
What are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a thin, protective coat applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, known as molars and premolars. These teeth have deep grooves where food and bacteria can get trapped, leading to cavities. Sealants seal these grooves, keeping plaque and food out and lowering the risk of tooth decay.
Benefits of Dental Sealants:
-
Sealants can reduce the risk of cavities in molars by up to 80%, making them highly effective preventive treatment
-
Applying dental sealants is a quick and painless procedure that can be completed in just one visit, without drilling or anesthesia.
-
Sealants could provide long-lasting protection against cavities for several years.
-
Sealants are particularly useful for children and teenagers, as their newly emerged permanent molars are more prone to cavities. Adults with no fillings or decay in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
