Dental Sealants in Boca Raton - Prevent Cavities in Children & Adults

Shield Your Teeth from Decay with Dental Sealants from Our Boca Raton Dentists

Dental Sealants

Is there a way for you to prevent cavities from destroying your teeth? Besides brushing and flossing, you can protect your teeth from cavities and decay with dental sealants! If you try to look at your back teeth using a mirror, you’ll see that the occlusal surface has fissures and grooves giving plaque and bacteria more places to hide. When plaque accumulates on your teeth, it will gradually destroy the integrity of your enamel by forming cavities. This can be avoided with the help of dental sealants.

What Are Dental Sealants?

A dental sealant is a plastic coating that your dentist will paint over the surface of your teeth, usually on your back teeth (premolars and molars) to protect them against tooth decay. Once the sealant is applied, it will instantly adhere to the grooves of your tooth forming a protective layer over your enamel.

Brushing and flossing are only effective in removing food particles and bacteria on smooth surfaces, but they can’t thoroughly remove debris in the nooks and crannies in your back teeth. Therefore, you need sealants to stop plaque from wreaking havoc in your mouth.

How Is A Dental Sealant Applied?

The application of a dental sealant is pretty straightforward. It only takes a couple of minutes for your dentist to apply the protective covering on each tooth. It’s a quick and painless procedure that can be summed up in 5 steps:

The tooth must be thoroughly cleaned before the sealant is applied.
It must also be dry. Usually, cotton is placed around the tooth to ensure that saliva doesn’t get to it.
An acid solution is placed on the tooth to roughen it. This is important so the sealant can successfully stick to the tooth.
The tooth is rinsed and then dried.
The dental sealant is applied until it hardens.

How Long Do Dental Sealants Last?

Studies show that dental sealants can last up approximately 9 to 10 years after they have been applied. However, you still need to show up during your annual dental visits so your dentist can check the condition of your sealants. If they are worn or have chipped away, your dentist can easily replace them.

I went to Lifeway Dental for the first time with a toothache. From the front desk to the assistant and of course, the dentist, it was a very comforting experience. Each person there was professional, yet kind and helpful. For one who dislikes going to the dentist, I will actually go back. I highly recommend this office.

Dr. Cicortas is the dentist you need, search no further! If you are looking for a dentist that is willing to take their time and explain your diagnosis then this is your dentist. Staff is great as well, and my favorite is Maria, she's been my hygienist for years. Jackie is great too! Amazing office, staff, and doctor.
