About Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a preventive dental care option that creates a barrier between your teeth and the elements in your mouth. Each time we eat food, bacteria in the mouth begin to create acid and plaque. When not properly removed, this can actually lead to tooth decay and cavity formation. Dental sealants are a BPA-free, liquid plastic that is usually either tooth-colored or clear. Your dentist will paint the dental sealant directly on the chewing surfaces of teeth, allowing a barrier to be formed.

Why Dental Sealants?

Take a look in your mouth and at your teeth, do you see all those depressions, pits and grooves? These are the perfect areas for debris, bacteria, plaque and tartar to thrive. With dental sealants a barrier is created, preventing your teeth from being damaged.

Getting Dental Sealants

When it comes to getting dental sealants, the entire process is extremely quick, simple and comfortable. Your dentist will paint the dental sealant directly on the teeth, allowing it to dry. Once dried, dental sealants harden and create a barrier that can last for years.
