What You Should Know About
Dental Sealants
If you have a child or
teenager, chances are good
that you have or will be
offered dental sealants for
their teeth.
Sealants protect the biting
surfaces of the premolars
and molars from dental
decay.
Sealants are most common
for children and teens, but
adults who've not had decay
or a filling on the molars, can
get them, too.
The sealant application
process is easy and
painless, and takes only a
few minutes to place.
First, the teeth are cleaned to
remove any plaque or
bacteria that might be
hanging around in the tooth
grooves.
This "roughs up" the biting
surfaces just enough for the
sealant material to adhere
easily.
The great thing about
sealants is that they're
maintenance-free. Simply
brush the teeth as normal.
Usually older kids or
teenagers, might notice that
they can feel the sealants, but
that feeling generally goes
away within a couple of days.
The sealants will wear away
after several years, at which
time they can be replaced if
desired.

about dental sealants,
