What are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities. They fill in the deep grooves of molars where food and bacteria can hide. The painless procedure creates a smooth, long-lasting barrier that helps keep teeth clean and cavity-free. Ideal for children, dental sealants provide an easy, cost-effective way to protect growing teeth and reduce the risk of future decay.
The Benefits of Dental Sealants
Cavity Prevention
Dental sealants act as a protective barrier, preventing cavities by sealing the grooves of teeth where food and bacteria can hide.
Long-lasting Protection
Sealants can last for several years, providing reliable, long-term protection against decay, reducing the need for frequent dental visits.
Fast and Painless Procedure
Applying dental sealants is quick and painless, making it ideal for children who may feel anxious about dental procedures.
Cost-Effective Care
Preventing cavities with sealants is much more affordable than treating cavities that require fillings, crowns, or more intensive procedures.

Frequently Ask Questions
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars) to prevent tooth decay. They act as a barrier, sealing out food particles and bacteria that cause cavities.
Yes, dental sealants are completely safe. They are made of non-toxic materials and have been used for decades to protect children’s teeth from cavities.
Dental sealants can last for several years, but it’s important to have them checked regularly during dental visits to ensure they are intact.
No, the application of dental sealants is completely pain-free. The procedure involves applying the sealant to the teeth, which hardens quickly and provides instant protection.
While dental sealants are most commonly used for children, adults can also benefit from them, especially those at higher risk of cavities.
The best time to apply dental sealants is as soon as your child’s permanent molars come in—usually around age 6 for first molars and age 12 for second molars. Applying them early offers maximum protection during the cavity-prone years.
No, dental sealants are a preventive measure, not a replacement for good oral hygiene. Your child should still brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit the dentist regularly to maintain optimal oral health.
Your dentist will examine your child’s teeth to determine if sealants are needed. Children with deep grooves or pits in their molars are prime candidates, as these areas are harder to clean and more prone to cavities.
