Quick Summary
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the deep grooves of back teeth (molars and premolars) where cavities form most easily. Even with diligent brushing, toothbrush bristles cannot clean inside the narrow pits and fissures of chewing surfaces, making these areas highly vulnerable to decay. At Dentistry on Duncan Mill in North York, we apply sealants quickly and painlessly to create a smooth, protective barrier that keeps food and bacteria out. They are an excellent investment in your child's dental health.
The teeth receiving sealants are thoroughly cleaned and dried before any material is applied.
A mild acid solution is applied to the chewing surface for a few seconds to create a rougher surface for the sealant to bond to, then rinsed off.
The liquid sealant material is painted into the grooves and pits of each tooth.
A curing light hardens the sealant in seconds. The bite is checked and any high spots are smoothed down.
