About This Service
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities. At Drangsholt Dental, we recommend sealants for both children and adults to protect the deep grooves and pits where toothbrush bristles can't reach. This simple, painless procedure provides years of protection against decay, especially beneficial for newly erupted permanent teeth. Sealants are one of the most effective preventive treatments available in modern dentistry.
How Treatment Works
01
Tooth Cleaning
The teeth are thoroughly cleaned and dried to ensure proper bonding of the sealant material.
02
Surface Preparation
A mild etching solution is applied briefly to create a slightly rough surface for better adhesion.
03
Sealant Application
The liquid sealant is painted onto the tooth's chewing surface, flowing into the grooves and pits.
04
Curing
A special light hardens the sealant in seconds, creating a durable protective shield.
