What Is The Process For Applying Dental Sealants?

The process is simple and painless. It begins with your dentist thoroughly cleaning your teeth. Once clean and dry, an acidic solution is applied to help the sealant bond. After one more cleaning, the sealant is painted on. Depending on the type of sealant used, your dentist may need to cure the sealant with a UV light.

Are Dental Sealants Only For Children?

While it’s true that dental sealants are commonly used to help children protect their teeth, they are not only for children. Dental sealants can be applied to anyone with teeth free of decay or infection and restorative or cosmetic work like dental crowns and veneers.

What Are Dental Sealants Made Of?

There are two types of dental sealants: composite and glass ionomer. Glass ionomer fillings release fluoride, while composite resin is a more durable and stain-resistant option. Both present long-lasting solutions to aid in the prevention of tooth decay. Talk with your dentist to learn more about which type is best suited for your smile and discuss any side effect concerns you may have.
