FAQs For Dental Sealants
Do sealants hurt?
Not at all! The process is quick, gentle, and completely painless—no drilling, no needles, and no discomfort.
How long do dental sealants last?
With good care, sealants can last several years. We check them during routine visits and can reapply them if needed.
Who should get sealants?
Sealants are ideal for kids, teens, and cavity-prone adults—especially when permanent molars first come in around ages 6 and 12.
Can adults get dental sealants?
Yes! Adults with deep grooves or a history of cavities can benefit from sealants to help prevent future decay.
Do sealants replace brushing and flossing?
No. Sealants add extra protection, but daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are still essential for a healthy smile.
What are dental sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help prevent cavities in deep grooves.
