Sealants are quick and easy, tooth-colored plastic-coated resin coatings designed to fill the little grooves in your teeth to prevent bacterial buildup.
The process is quite simple. Your dentist will clean your teeth, then apply a solution that helps the sealant adhere tightly to the tooth.
The first dental sealant to be placed is usually on the fissure of the first permanent molar tooth, once the chewing surface of the tooth has erupted completely beyond the gum.
Your dentist will then paint the sealant on in liquid form, which hardens in just about a minute, and that’s it! Best of all, studies have shown that sealants can reduce decay up to 70% and can last nearly a decade!
