Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars) — where cavities are most likely to form. They help keep food and bacteria out of the deep grooves, reducing the risk of tooth decay.
Sealants are especially effective for kids who are still developing good brushing habits or have deep pits in their molars.
Applying sealants is simple and non-invasive:
We clean and dry the tooth
Apply a gentle solution to help the sealant bond
Brush on the sealant material
Trauma to the mouth, lips, or gums
The entire process takes just a few minutes per tooth — no drills, no numbing, and no discomfort.

Dental sealants can last for several years with proper care. We’ll check them at each visit and reapply if needed to keep your child’s smile protected.
