Protect Your Teeth With Dental Sealants
Brushing and flossing are the simplest ways to prevent cavities, but it can be difficult to clean every nook and cranny of your teeth, especially the chewing areas of your back teeth (called molars). Molars are rough and irregular, making them a perfect hiding spot for food particles and bacteria that cause cavities.
Dental Sealants Treatment Process
The dental sealant treatment is quick and painless. Our professional dentist will clean and dry your teeth before using an acidic gel. This gel makes an aggressive entry onto the tooth's surface to enable a strong bond between the tooth and the sealant. Our dentist will rinse off the gel and re-dry your teeth before applying the sealant to the grooves of your teeth. Using a unique blue light, our dentist will next solidify the sealant.
How Long Do Sealants Last
Typically, sealants do not require reapplication over several years. During your regular dental checkup, our dentist will check how well your sealants are holding up and reapply them if needed.
