Sealants

Sealants are an effective way to prevent cavities because they create a barrier between the teeth and harmful bacteria that can cause tooth decay. The sealant material is applied to the teeth in a liquid form and then hardened using a special light. Once the sealant is in place, it acts as a shield to prevent bacteria and food particles from getting trapped in the crevices of the teeth.

Dental sealants are most effective when they are applied soon after the molars and premolars have erupted, which is typically between the ages of 6 and 14. However, adults who have healthy teeth without fillings or decay can also benefit from sealants.

Sealants are a quick and painless way to prevent cavities and maintain optimal oral health. At DRGP Dental, we recommend dental sealants for children and teenagers, as well as adults who are prone to tooth decay.
