Dental Sealants

Welcome to Dr. Jay Wettstein’s Dentistry, where we take pride in offering affordable, quality dental care that keeps your smile healthy and bright. One of the significant preventive measures we offer is dental sealants, a simple yet effective solution to shield your teeth from decay. Sealants are especially beneficial for children and teens, but they can protect adult teeth too—helping prevent cavities before they start.

Benefits of Dental Sealants

Dental sealants offer several important advantages that make them a smart choice for long-term oral health, including:

  • Prevention of Tooth Decay: Sealants significantly reduce the risk of cavities by providing a protective shield over the enamel.
  • Cost-Effective: Sealants are a cost-effective preventive measure that can save you from costly restorations and invasive treatments in the future.
  • Quick and Painless Application: Applying sealants is a quick and pain-free process that can be completed during a regular dental visit.
  • Long-Lasting Protection: With proper care, sealants can last for several years, offering continued protection against decay.

How Are Dental Sealants Applied?

The application of dental sealants is a straightforward process that typically takes only a few minutes per tooth. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

  1. Cleaning: Your dentist will thoroughly clean the teeth to be sealed to ensure no plaque or food particles remain.
  2. Drying: Each tooth will be dried, and cotton or another absorbent material will be placed around the tooth to keep it dry.
  3. Etching: A mild acid solution will be applied to the chewing surfaces of the tooth to help the sealant bond to the tooth.
  4. Rinsing and Drying: The etching solution is rinsed off, and the tooth is dried again.
  5. Application: The dental sealant is painted onto the tooth enamel, where it bonds directly to the tooth and hardens.
