What are dental sealants, and how do they protect my teeth?

Dental sealants are thin coatings applied to teeth, usually molars, to protect against decay. They shield grooves where food and bacteria get trapped, reducing the risk of cavities by up to 80%.

Are sealants only for kids?

No, sealants work for both kids and adults! While children are common candidates, adults with deep grooves in their teeth or those with dry mouths from medications can benefit from sealants, too.

Is the sealant application process painful or time-consuming?

Not at all! Sealants are applied in minutes. After cleaning, a gel is prepared for the tooth, and the sealant is painted on and then hardened with light. It's fast, painless, and non-invasive.

Are dental sealants safe for my teeth?

Absolutely! The sealants used at Chesterland Family Dental Care are non-toxic and safe for all ages. They bond securely to teeth without harming the enamel or gums, giving you peace of mind.

How long can I expect my dental sealants to last?

With good care, dental sealants last over five years. RegularĀ  heck-ups ensure they're intact and working. They can be easily reapplied if needed to maintain strong protection against decay.
