Dental Sealants
A Simple Way to Protect Teeth from Cavities
Dental sealants provide an easy and effective way to prevent cavities, especially in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. At Hazel Path Dental, we use sealants to protect the deep grooves and chewing surfaces of back teeth where food particles and bacteria are most likely to collect. This thin, protective coating creates a barrier that helps stop decay before it starts.
What to Expect During the Sealant Process
Applying dental sealants is quick, comfortable, and completely noninvasive. After cleaning and drying the teeth, our team applies a special gel that helps the sealant bond securely to the enamel. The sealant is then brushed onto the tooth surface and hardened using a gentle curing light.
The entire process takes only a few minutes per tooth and provides long-lasting protection. Sealants can last for several years with proper care and regular dental checkups.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
- Shields teeth from bacteria and food particles
- Reduces the risk of cavities in molars and premolars
- Ideal for children and teens as permanent teeth come in
- Quick, painless, and long-lasting protection
Preventive Care for Every Stage of Life
Sealants are most commonly recommended for children, but adults can benefit from them as well, especially if their teeth have deep grooves or a history of cavities. Our team will evaluate your or your child’s needs and recommend sealants as part of a personalized preventive care plan.
