Dental Sealants
Dental Sealants Kallangur
Dental sealants are very effective in protecting your teeth from tooth decay. The procedure involves application of a tooth-coloured coating on the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
Sealants cover the deep grooves of the teeth, which can be at risk of decay. The coating serves as a barrier protecting the tooth enamel from food debris, plaque, and acid.
A safe and simple procedure, sealants are highly recommended for both adults and children to help protect their smile for life.
The Benefits of Dental Sealants
Dental sealant is a plastic resin that bonds to the pits and fissures of the teeth. It seals depressed areas and makes the teeth smoother and less susceptible to plaque. Also, sealed teeth are easier to clean; thus, they are less prone to developing decay.
Additional benefits of dental sealants include the following:
- Reduce the development of tooth decay between 80% and 90%
- Ideal for patients who suffer from frequent dry mouth
- Help avoid stresses and expenses due to various dental issues
- Look natural on teeth, therefore the treatment is barely noticeable
The Dental Sealant Procedure
The process of applying sealants on your teeth is quick and painless. It only requires one appointment to complete the procedure:
- The dentist will thoroughly clean and dry the tooth before an acidic gel is placed on teeth
- The gel will roughen the tooth surface so that the coating will strongly bond on teeth
- After a few seconds, the dentist will wash away the gel and dry the tooth again
- The sealant will then be applied onto the grooves of tooth
- The sealant will be hardened using a special blue light
Dental sealants typically last from three to five years. With proper installation and maintenance, the sealant can significantly protect your pearly whites from decay and cavities.
