What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a preventive treatment designed to protect molars and premolars from decay. These thin, protective coatings made from dental sealant material are applied to the grooves of teeth where plaque and bacteria often accumulate. By sealing these areas, cavity sealants create a smoother surface that's easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities. At Kaceli Dental Studio in Norwood, MA, Dr. Monika Kaceli recommends sealants for both children and adults to maintain stronger, healthier smiles and reduce the need for future restorative treatments.
What Is the Dental Sealant Process?
The dental sealant procedure at Kaceli Dental Studio begins with thoroughly cleaning the teeth to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria. Once the teeth are clean and dry, a thin layer of sealant is applied to the tooth grooves using a small brush. The sealant is then hardened with a curing light in 10 – 20 seconds. Afterward, Dr. Kaceli checks your bite alignment to ensure comfort and provides instructions for maintaining your dental sealants at home.
Dental sealants can last 5 – 10 years with proper care. While sealants naturally wear down over time due to chewing and brushing, regular dental visits allow Dr. Kaceli to monitor their condition. This longevity makes sealants valuable for preventing cavities and preserving oral health.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Sealants?
At Kaceli Dental Studio, sealants offer several advantages for patients in Norwood, MA, including:
- Helping prevent cavities and reducing the need for future restorative treatments
- Saving time and money by maintaining healthy teeth
- Providing a clear or tooth-colored coating for a natural look
- Minimizing tartar and plaque buildup in hard-to-clean areas
Sealants are especially beneficial for children who may struggle to clean their back teeth thoroughly, but they are also effective for adults with cavity-prone teeth.
