How Are Dental Sealants Placed?
Applying dental sealants is quick and easy, and can be done during your child’s routine dental checkup. We begin by thoroughly cleaning the teeth where the sealants will be placed. A solution is then applied to the teeth which will help the sealants better adhere to them. Next, this solution is rinsed off and the teeth are dried. Lastly, the sealants are painted onto the grooves of the teeth and hardened into place with an ultraviolet curing light. It’s that easy!
How Long Do Dental Sealants Last?
As long as your child’s teeth are properly cared for, dental sealants can last for several years before they need to be reapplied. Provided your child brushes and flosses daily and avoids biting down on hard objects, their teeth should be protected from decay during the years when they’re most prone to developing cavities. During your child’s routine dental appointments, Dr. Moulton can evaluate their sealants to determine if a reapplication is necessary.
