Dental Sealants
Protect your teeth from cavities with high-quality dental sealants provided by Dr. Jeanette Linskey-Sanders at Experience Dentistry in Scranton, PA. Dental sealants are a simple yet effective solution to keep your teeth protected against decay, especially for children and teenagers who are more prone to cavities. Our preventive care approach ensures your smile remains healthy and strong for years to come.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth have grooves and crevices that can trap food particles and bacteria, making them harder to clean with regular brushing and flossing. The sealant acts as a shield, creating a smooth surface that prevents cavity-causing plaque and debris from settling in these areas.
The Dental Sealant Process
At Experience Dentistry, our sealant application process is quick, painless, and tailored to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:
- Dental Cleaning: Before applying the sealant, we’ll thoroughly clean your teeth to remove any plaque or debris. This ensures the sealant adheres properly for maximum protection.
- Drying and Preparation: The tooth is dried, and a special solution is applied to create a slightly rough surface. This step helps the sealant bond securely to the tooth.
- Sealant Application: The dental sealant, a liquid material, is carefully painted onto the tooth’s surface. It flows into the grooves and crevices to create a protective barrier.
- Curing and Final Check: A curing light is used to harden the sealant. Once set, Dr. Linskey-Sanders will examine the tooth to ensure the sealant is properly applied and smooth.
This non-invasive procedure takes just a few minutes per tooth and provides long-lasting protection.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
Dental sealants offer numerous advantages that make them a valuable part of preventive dentistry:
- Cavity Prevention: Sealants block food and bacteria from settling in hard-to-reach areas, reducing the risk of cavities.
- Quick and Painless: The application process is simple, non-invasive, and suitable for patients of all ages.
- Cost-Effective Protection: Sealants help you avoid the need for more extensive and expensive dental treatments in the future.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, sealants can provide protection for several years before needing to be reapplied.
- Ideal for Children and Teens: Sealants are especially beneficial for young patients with newly erupted permanent molars.
By safeguarding your teeth with sealants, you can maintain excellent oral health and reduce the likelihood of future dental concerns.
