Dental Sealants for Back Teeth Protection
Dental sealants are a type of thin, protective coating that can be made from various dental materials, including plastic. They are specifically designed to easily stick to the chewing surface of your back teeth. This dental treatment is suitable for patients of all ages, but it is especially common for children. You can conveniently have this treatment done during your regular dental cleaning and exam.
If you would like to learn more about dental sealants and schedule an appointment to have them applied, please contact us at 702-579-7645.
How To Avoid Cavities?
Dental sealants have been proven to significantly decrease the likelihood of cavities by 80% over a 2-year period and by 50% over a 4-year duration.
Long-lasting Protection
With proper care, sealants can be easily replaced and have a lifespan of up to 9 years in the mouth.
Especially Great for Children
Children without sealants on their teeth are three times more prone to developing cavities in comparison to those who have sealants.
Fast, Painless, Easy Application
Applying the liquid form of the thin coating is done by painting, and it solidifies in just about a minute. It's really that straightforward!
Who can get dental sealants?
- School-age children
- Adults who are cavity-prone
- Anyone who wants an added layer of protection against decay!
What To Expect From A Dental Sealant Treatment At Our Office
A sealant is similar to a small plastic filling, but numbing is usually unnecessary because tooth enamel does not have nerves.
- We’ll start by examining the tooth or teeth to be sealed. If decay is found, we’ll remove it.
- Next, we’ll apply a solution that helps the sealing material better adhere to your tooth surface
- Time for the sealant! We’ll paint it on the tooth and use a special curing light as needed. That’s it!
