Dental sealants offer a simple and effective way to protect teeth from cavities, especially in the deep grooves of back molars where brushing may not fully reach. At Sullivan Dental Center, our dentists and team recommend sealants as a preventive step for both children and adults who may be more vulnerable to decay.
Sealants are made from a thin, protective material that is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Once applied, the material forms a barrier that shields enamel from food particles and plaque. This coating can significantly reduce the risk of cavities in the areas that are hardest to clean.
Because the procedure is quick and completely painless, sealants are a popular choice for families seeking long-term protection for their oral health. The application process is completed in a single visit and does not require anesthesia or downtime.
Personalized Care That Puts You First
Every patient’s smile has different needs, and we are here to guide you through options that support long-term wellness. Our dentists will evaluate your teeth and let you know if dental sealants are a good fit for your preventive care plan.
Dental sealants are typically recommended for the permanent molars once they come in, but patients with deep grooves or a history of cavities can benefit as well. The material bonds securely to the tooth surface and can last for several years with proper care.
