What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth have grooves and pits that can trap food and bacteria, making them more susceptible to cavities. Sealants fill in these grooves, creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean and less likely to develop cavities.

Benefits of Dental Sealants
- Prevents Cavities
By covering the grooves and pits in the molars and premolars, sealants prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck and causing decay. This significantly reduces the risk of cavities.
- Long-Lasting Protection
Sealants provide durable protection that can last for several years with proper care. They can withstand the forces of chewing and help keep the teeth cavity-free during the crucial years when children are most susceptible to decay.
- Quick and Painless Application
Applying dental sealants is a fast and painless procedure. Our pediatric dentists ensure that the process is comfortable for your child, making it a stress-free experience.

Our Dental Sealant Process
At Brooks Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we follow a thorough approach to applying dental sealants:
- Comprehensive Dental Exam
Before applying sealants, our dentists perform a detailed dental exam to check for any existing cavities or dental issues. This ensures that sealants are only applied to healthy teeth. Visit our Restorative Dentistry page for more details.
- Professional Teeth Cleaning
The teeth are thoroughly cleaned to remove any plaque and debris. This ensures that the sealants can bond properly to the tooth surface. Learn more about our Dental Extractions service.
- Sealant Application
The sealant material is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth and then hardened with a special curing light. This process creates a strong, protective barrier against cavities.
