Dental Sealants

Seal the deal for a cavity-free smile

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a preventive dental treatment designed to protect teeth from decay. They are thin, plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, which are the back teeth most prone to developing cavities.

The process of applying dental sealants is simple and painless. First, the teeth are thoroughly cleaned and dried. Then, a special gel is applied to the tooth surface to create a rough texture that allows the sealant to bond effectively. The gel is rinsed off, and the teeth are dried again. Finally, the sealant is applied as a liquid that quickly hardens into a solid protective coating.

The main purpose of dental sealants is to create a physical barrier that seals off the deep grooves and fissures on the chewing surfaces of teeth. These areas can be difficult to clean properly with a toothbrush, making them susceptible to the accumulation of bacteria and food particles, which can lead to cavities.

By applying dental sealants, the risk of tooth decay is significantly reduced. Sealants effectively block out bacteria and prevent acid attacks, helping to keep teeth cavity-free. They are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers who may have difficulty maintaining optimal oral hygiene practices.

Dental sealants are long-lasting but may wear off over time due to chewing forces and normal wear. Therefore, regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of sealants and ensure they are intact. If necessary, sealants can be reapplied to provide continued protection.

Overall, dental sealants are a valuable tool in preventing tooth decay. They offer a simple and effective way to safeguard teeth, promoting long-term oral health and contributing to a brighter, healthier smile.

Dr. Kumar, Sarah and Sherry are Fantastic! We found Dr. Kumar via a community group for special needs parents. Those (like myself) looking for a kind, gentle, patient dentist were all told of Dr. Kumar. And they were all right! He is patient, kind, soft spoken, and terrific with young people with sensory processing disorder and Autism. SO glad we found him. And not only am I taking my child to him (who is 20 yrs old), but I transferred to him as well. HIGHLY recommend. Thank you. Diane
