Dental Sealants
Dental Services in Vacaville, California
Overview
The deep grooves and fissures located on a person’s back teeth are home to roughly 75% of all tooth decay found inside the mouth. These areas are known to be very difficult to reach, even with regular brushing and flossing. By applying dental sealants, these rough surfaces are smoothed out, and they become significantly easier to clean and maintain. When taken care of properly, dental sealants should last for several years.
Many children and teenagers who are still developing proper brushing and flossing habits receive dental sealants as a way of protecting their teeth. Baby teeth, in particular, are great candidates for dental sealants, since they usually feature deep grooves and fissures. Adults can also receive sealants as a way of protecting their back teeth from cavities and decay.
Applying Dental Sealants
The process of applying dental sealants only requires a couple of minutes per tooth. The first step is to dry and clean any tooth that is designated for sealing. Next, an etching solution is used to roughen the surface of the teeth and allow the sealant to bond more easily. We then carefully paint the acrylic sealant onto the surface of the teeth and allow the substance to dry. After the process is finished, we will make sure that the teeth have been properly sealed.
