UnderstandingtheImportanceofDentalSealants
Are you looking for a simple and effective way to protect your teeth, or your child’s teeth, from cavities? Dental sealants are a proven preventive treatment that adds an extra layer of defence against tooth decay, especially on hard-to-clean back teeth.
Even with good brushing and flossing, the deep grooves on molars can trap food and bacteria, increasing the risk of cavities. Dental sealants act as a protective barrier, sealing these grooves and preventing plaque buildup. Sealants are especially beneficial for children and teens, but adults without existing decay can also benefit from this preventive treatment.
WhatHappensDuringaDentalSealantAppointment?
At Ottawa Dental Center, dental sealants are applied quickly and comfortably during a routine visit:
ToothPreparation
The tooth is gently cleaned and dried to ensure proper bonding. No drilling or numbing is required.
SealantApplication
A thin, protective coating is carefully applied to the chewing surface of the tooth, where cavities are most likely to develop.
Hardening&Protection
The sealant is hardened using a special light, creating a strong shield that protects the tooth from food particles and bacteria. The entire process takes just a few minutes per tooth and provides long-lasting protection.
