Sealants

Sealants are thin plastic coatings used to cover chewing teeth, premolars, and any deep cavities (called pits and fissures) in teeth These types of teeth are difficult to clean and are prone to decay. Liquid sealants protect the tooth by covering deep tissue, making it soft and easy to clean.
Dental sealants can protect teeth from decay for years, but regular dental visits should be inspected for decay and decay.

Reasons for sealants:

Six-year-old teeth (first permanent back teeth) as soon as they erupt or at any time during the cavity-prone age range from 6-16.

The upper teeth that do not decay are either deep-rooted or blunt.

It is sometimes performed if there is a deep cavity or weakness in the tooth and the child is prone to dental cavities.

What do sealants involve?

The sealant is easily applied by your dentist, dental assistant or dental hygienist and the process takes just two minutes per tooth.
After the tooth to be closed is thoroughly cleaned and then surrounded by cotton, the area is allowed to dry. A special solution is applied to the surface of the enamel to help the sealant bond with the tooth. The teeth are then cleaned and dried. The coating is carefully painted on the surface of the enamel to cover deep or superficial cavities. The material is then hardened with a special medical light.
Proper home care, a balanced diet, and regular dental checkups will help your new sealants live on.

A sealant is a thin layer of plastic that covers chewing teeth, premolars, and any deep cavities (aka pits and crevices) in teeth Over 75% of tooth decay begins in these deep cavities. Such teeth are difficult to clean and are prone to decay. Liquid sealants protect the tooth by covering deep tissue, making it soft and easy to clean.
