What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are ultra-thin, protective layers applied to the grooves of your back teeth (molars and premolars) to shield them from food particles, bacteria, and plaque. These grooves can be challenging to clean thoroughly, making them more susceptible to cavities. Sealants act as a protective barrier, preventing decay and promoting better oral hygiene.

Perfect for children, teenagers, and adults, dental sealants are a versatile solution for anyone looking to safeguard their teeth. At Clove Dental, our team uses advanced materials and techniques to ensure long-lasting and effective protection.

Signs You Might Need Dental Sealants

While not everyone requires dental sealants, they are particularly beneficial for individuals who:

  • Have deep grooves or pits on the chewing surfaces of their molars.
  • Experience frequent cavities despite regular brushing and flossing.
  • Are children or teenagers with newly erupted permanent teeth.
  • Want to take a proactive approach to prevent tooth decay.
  • Struggle with maintaining optimal oral hygiene due to hard-to-reach areas.

Procedure for Applying Dental Sealants

The process of applying dental sealants at Clove Dental in Beverly Hills is simple and efficient. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Cleaning the Teeth: Your dentist will start by cleaning the teeth to remove any plaque and debris.
  2. Preparing the Surface: A special etching solution is applied to the teeth to create a rough surface, allowing the sealant to bond effectively.
  3. Rinsing and Drying: The teeth are rinsed and thoroughly dried to prepare for the application.
  4. Sealant Application: The liquid sealant is carefully applied to the grooves and pits of your teeth.
  5. Curing the Sealant: A special light is used to harden the sealant, creating a durable, protective barrier.
  6. Final Inspection: The dentist ensures the sealant is properly set and makes any necessary adjustments.

This entire procedure takes only a few minutes per tooth and is a stress-free experience for patients of all ages.
