Protecting your child's teeth from cavities is a top priority at Harlem Family Dental. Our dental sealants provide an extra layer of defense, ensuring your child's teeth remain healthy and strong.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). They prevent food particles and bacteria from getting stuck in the grooves, reducing the risk of cavities.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
Effective Cavity Prevention
Sealants provide a physical barrier that protects enamel from plaque and acids, significantly reducing the risk of cavities.
Quick and Painless Application
The sealant application process is quick, non-invasive, and completely painless, making it ideal for children.
Long-Lasting Protection
With proper care, dental sealants can protect your child's teeth for many years.
The Sealant Application Process
Cleaning the Teeth
The teeth to be sealed are thoroughly cleaned to ensure a proper bond.
Applying the Sealant
The sealant material is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth and hardened with a special light.
Final Inspection
Once the sealant is hardened, your dentist will check to ensure it is properly bonded and provides complete coverage.
Who Should Get Dental Sealants?
Children and Adolescents
Sealants are most beneficial for children and adolescents as their back teeth are most susceptible to cavities.
Adults with No Decay or Fillings
Adults can also benefit from sealants if their back teeth are free of decay and fillings.
