Dental Sealants

A sealant is a thin, protective coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Sealants are a great choice for:

• Children — as soon as their permanent back teeth come in
• Teens — while they’re at higher risk for cavities
• Adults with deep grooves — that are hard to keep clean
• Anyone prone to cavities — extra protection where decay starts most
• Families who want to save money — preventing a cavity costs less than filling one
• Patients who want a quick fix — sealants take only minutes per tooth

Sealants are painless and need no drilling or numbing, which makes them an easy, kid-friendly way to prevent cavities.
