Dental sealants use a transparent liquid resin, which is applied directly to the teeth and is hardened using a UV light. This creates an impenetrable seal on your child’s tooth, which stops bacteria, acid, and food particles from causing cavities. Dental sealants treatment is usually recommended specifically for cavity-prone rear teeth.
Did you know dental sealants prevent up to 80% of cavities in children’s molars?

Dental sealants provide early protection for newly erupted teeth, preventing decay before it starts, which reduces the need for more extensive treatments later on.
Sealants are a safe, reliable solution that dental professionals have recommended for decades, effectively preventing cavities in children’s teeth.
By sealing deep grooves, dental sealants make it easier for children to keep their teeth clean, reducing the risk of plaque buildup and decay.
First, your child’s teeth will be thoroughly cleaned to remove any plaque or food particles. This ensures the surface of the teeth is ready for the sealant application.
A special dental solution is applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars, followed by the liquid sealant. The sealant is then painted onto the teeth and hardened with a curing light.
Once the sealant has hardened, the dentist will check to ensure the sealant has fully bonded to the tooth and make any necessary adjustments, ensuring a smooth and comfortable fit.
We typically recommend applying dental sealants as soon as your child’s permanent molars come in, which is usually around ages 6 to 12. Schedule an appointment at our Houston office to find out if your child is a good candidate for sealants.
