At Well Beyond Dental, we are dedicated to protecting and enhancing your smile through comprehensive and preventative dental care. One of the most effective ways to safeguard your teeth against decay is through the application of dental sealants. Whether you are looking to protect your child’s newly emerged molars or seeking additional cavity protection for yourself, dental sealants offer a simple yet powerful solution.

About Dental Sealants

What are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, primarily the molars and premolars. These teeth have deep grooves and pits where food particles and bacteria can get trapped, making them more susceptible to decay. Sealants create a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that acts as a barrier against plaque and food, helping to prevent cavities.

How Can Dental Sealants Help?

When Are Dental Sealants Used?

Dental sealants are typically applied to children’s teeth as soon as their permanent molars and premolars come in, usually between the ages of 6 and 14. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants. They are particularly useful for individuals at a higher risk of tooth decay, including those with deep grooves in their teeth or a history of cavities.

How do they help?

Prevent Cavities: By filling in the grooves and pits of the molars and premolars, sealants prevent food and bacteria from settling in these areas, significantly reducing the risk of cavities.
Save Time and Money: Preventing cavities with sealants can help avoid more extensive and costly dental procedures in the future, such as fillings, crowns, or root canals.
Quick and Painless Application: The process of applying dental sealants is fast and painless, typically taking only a few minutes per tooth. There is no need for drilling or removing any tooth structure.
Long-Lasting Protection: Sealants can last several years before needing to be reapplied, providing long-term protection against decay with proper dental care and regular check-ups.
