Cavity prevention
Dental Sealants
Protective coatings that prevent decay on back teeth.
Sealants are thin protective coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where most cavities start. They’re fast, painless, and one of the most effective preventive treatments we offer.
Who needs sealants?
Most kids benefit from sealants on their permanent molars (ages 6 and 12, roughly). Adults with deep grooves and a history of cavities can also benefit. We’ll evaluate your specific anatomy and recommend based on actual risk.
The procedure
We clean the tooth, apply a mild etching gel, rinse and dry, then paint on the sealant and cure it with a light. The whole thing takes a few minutes per tooth. No drilling, no shots.
