What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective layers applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. These back teeth are susceptible to cavities because their grooves can trap food and bacteria. Sealants create a smooth surface over these grooves, effectively blocking out decay-causing particles.

Benefits of Dental Sealants

Cavity Prevention
Dental sealants are proven to significantly reduce the risk of cavities in treated teeth by creating a protective barrier against bacteria and food particles.

Durable Protection
Sealants offer long-lasting protection, often remaining effective for several years with proper care and regular dental check-ups.

Non-Invasive and Quick Application
The procedure for applying sealants is straightforward and painless, making it an easy way to boost your child's dental health without discomfort.

Our Dental Sealant Process

At Helotes Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we ensure the application of sealants is done with precision and care:

Initial Examination and X-Rays
Our dentists begin with a comprehensive exam and x-rays to detect any existing issues that need addressing before sealants are applied.

Thorough Cleaning
A professional cleaning session ensures that the teeth are free from plaque and debris, allowing the sealant to adhere properly.

Applying the Sealant
The sealant material is applied to the cleaned and dried teeth, then hardened with a special light, forming a strong, protective shield.
