Why Dental Sealants Are Essential for Cavity Prevention
Dental sealants create a protective barrier over the deep grooves and pits of your back teeth, where food particles and bacteria commonly accumulate. These hard-to-reach areas are especially vulnerable to decay, even with regular brushing and flossing. By applying this service, we can reduce cavity risk by up to 80% in treated teeth. This preventive treatment is particularly beneficial for children and teenagers, though adults with deep tooth grooves can also benefit significantly. The clear or tooth-colored material bonds securely to your teeth, providing years of reliable protection while maintaining your natural smile’s appearance.
Our Comfortable Dental Sealant Application Process
At Grand View Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, applying dental sealants is a quick and painless procedure that typically takes just minutes per tooth. First, we thoroughly clean and dry the tooth surface. Next, we apply a special solution to help the sealant bond effectively. The liquid sealant material is then carefully painted onto the tooth’s chewing surface, where it flows into the grooves and pits. Finally, we use a special curing light to harden the sealant instantly. The entire process requires no drilling or anesthesia, making it comfortable for patients of all ages. Our caring team ensures you feel relaxed throughout the treatment.
