Simple, painless protection for cavity-prone teeth.
Brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings are your best defence against tooth decay — but sometimes, even those aren’t enough. That’s where dental sealants come in.
Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (usually molars and premolars). These areas have deep grooves that can easily trap food and bacteria — making them harder to clean and more prone to cavities.
Sealants work by sealing off those grooves, creating a smooth surface that helps keep out plaque and acids. The result? Fewer cavities and less worry — especially for those most at risk.
Who Should Get Dental Sealants?
Sealants are most commonly recommended for:
- 🧒 Children & Teens
As soon as their first and second molars come in (usually around ages 6 and 12)
Kids with a history of cavities or weak enamel
Great for protecting new permanent teeth during the cavity-prone years - 🧑🦱 Cavity-Prone Adults
Adults with deep grooves or pits in their molars
Patients with frequent cavities or at higher risk due to diet or dry mouth
Anyone looking for extra protection as part of a preventive care plan
Are Sealants Safe?
Yes — sealants are safe, painless, and don’t require any freezing or drilling. They typically last 5–10 years and can be reapplied if needed.
Final Word
Sealants are a smart, affordable way to prevent cavities before they start — for both kids and adults. If you or your child could benefit from added protection, book a consultation today and let’s talk about sealants as part of your preventive dental care.
