How are dental sealants applied?

Dental sealants in Mirrabooka provide excellent protection against tooth decay and cavities for your little one's teeth. The procedure is also comfortable, non-invasive, and may not even require a dental anesthetic. We usually apply dental sealants to molars and can typically do so during one simple dental visit.

Our dentist will start your child's sealants procedure by drying and preparing the chewing surface of your little one's tooth. Next, they'll apply a thin plastic coating over the tooth's surface to protect it from the acids and bacteria that cause tooth decay. The layer also fills the pits and grooves on the tooth's chewing surface, which can trap food particles and cause cavities. 

Children often don't have the skills and dexterity to properly brush and floss until they're older. So, our dentists often recommend dental sealants for children because they give added protection to small teeth that can quickly develop cavities.
