Protect Your Teeth With Dental Sealants

Dental sealants offer a preventive and effective way to protect your teeth from long-term cavities and decay. At Sea Isle Smiles in Sea Isle City, NJ, we proudly provide this service to help protect our patients’ molars and premolars for life!

How Do Dental Sealants Work?

By creating a lightweight physical barrier to cover premolars and molars, dental sealants can help keep smiles strong for many years! Filling the deep pits within these teeth, they effectively “block” plaque, bacteria, and food debris from collecting and creating cavities.

What Are the Benefits Of This Treatment?

In addition to the fact that sealants can protect your teeth from bacteria and decay, they’re also a quick, painless, and non-invasive service (drilling and anesthesia are not required), are cost-effective, and can last for up to 10 years with diligent oral hygiene habits. In addition, though these protective coatings are most often applied to the teeth of children, tweens, and young teens, they can also be an option for adults with cavity-free molars and premolars.

Doing everything you can to keep your teeth healthy is vital for your oral and overall health. Not only do dental sealants help protect your teeth, but they also help reduce your need for more complex, painful, and expensive treatments in the future.
