What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars). These teeth are prone to developing cavities because of their deep grooves and pits, where food and bacteria often get trapped. The sealants act as a barrier, preventing plaque and food particles from settling in these hard-to-reach areas, keeping your teeth safe from decay.

Why Are Sealants Important?

Even with regular brushing and flossing, it can be difficult to clean the molars thoroughly. Molars have deep grooves and crevices that are the perfect hiding spots for bacteria. Over time, this can lead to cavities, especially in children, whose brushing habits are still developing.
With dental sealants, you can:

Prevent Cavities – The sealant forms a barrier that keeps food and bacteria from causing decay.
Reduce Dental Costs – By preventing cavities, sealants can help you avoid costly fillings or other dental work in the future.
Keep Your Smile Healthy – Sealants are a long-lasting way to protect your teeth and avoid toothaches or more serious dental issues.

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?

Sealants are great for both children and adults.
Children & Teens: Dental sealants are typically applied as soon as a child's permanent molars come in, which can be as early as 6 years old. This early prevention helps keep their teeth protected while they learn good oral hygiene habits.
Adults: Adults with healthy molars or those who are prone to cavities can also benefit from dental sealants. If you haven't had cavities in your molars but notice that they have deep grooves, sealants can help prevent future decay.

How Long Do Sealants Last?

Dental sealants can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, depending on your oral care habits. During your regular checkups, Dr. Rana and Dr. Vo will monitor your sealants to ensure they’re still doing their job. If needed, we can reapply sealants to keep your teeth protected.

Caring for Your Sealants

To get the most out of your sealants, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene:

Brush and floss regularly to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Visit RS Dental for routine cleanings and checkups.
Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens, which can damage the sealant.

What to Expect During the Sealant Procedure

At RS Dental, we make the process of applying sealants simple and stress-free. In just one visit, we can provide years of protection for your teeth. Here’s what you can expect:

Thorough Cleaning – First, we’ll clean your teeth to remove any plaque or food particles.
Preparing the Tooth – Once cleaned, we’ll dry your teeth and apply a special bonding gel to help the sealant stick.
Applying the Sealant – The sealant is then painted onto the chewing surface of the tooth, filling in any grooves or pits.
Curing the Sealant – Finally, we use a special light to harden the sealant, making it durable and long-lasting.

This entire process is painless and takes only a few minutes per tooth. Once completed, you’ll enjoy years of protection from cavities.
