At Rainbow Dental Center Ewa Beach, we are committed to safeguarding your family’s dental health through effective preventive treatments. Dental sealants are a simple yet powerful way to shield your teeth from cavities, especially in children and teenagers who are at a higher risk for tooth decay.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants act as a barrier against bacteria and food particles, reducing the likelihood of cavities forming in these hard-to-reach areas. The application process is quick, pain-free and can be completed during a routine visit to our office.
Why Choose Sealants?
The benefits of dental sealants are numerous. They are highly effective at preventing cavities, especially in the deep grooves of molars and premolars. By sealing out plaque and food, sealants help maintain better overall oral hygiene. They are also a cost-effective way to prevent more serious dental issues in the future.
The Application Process
The application of sealants is straightforward:
- Preparation: We start by cleaning and drying the teeth to ensure the sealant adheres properly.
- Application: The sealant is then painted onto the tooth enamel. It quickly bonds to the teeth.
- Setting: A special light is used to harden the sealant.
Once applied, sealants can last several years with proper care. Regular checkups will help ensure they remain intact and effective.
