What is Sealant for teeth?
Dental sealants create a strong, invisible shield overthe natural grooves of teeth, blocking out plaque, food particles, before theycan cause damage. Most commonly recommended for children, teens, and youngadults, sealants help protect vulnerable areas of the mouth during the yearswhen cavities are most likely to develop. By applying sealants to permanentmolars and premolars as soon as they emerge, we can help stop decay before itstarts—preserving healthy teeth and gums for years to come.
Dental sealants can last 10 years or longer with propercare. For children, sealants act as an added layer of protection during thecavity-prone years, helping preserve healthy teeth into adulthood. As patientsgrow older, sealants can be left in place, reapplied, or removed based on theirdental needs.
For adults, sealants may be used alongside treatments suchas veneers and are typically reapplied as needed during adjustments. Withregular dental checkups, sealants continue to provide reliable, long-termprotection against decay.
