Sealants

Sealants

Dental sealants are a preventive treatment designed to protect teeth from cavities and decay. This thin, protective coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, where grooves and crevices can trap food particles and bacteria.

At Hayes Barton Dentistry, Dr. Charlotte Hunt offers dental sealants as an effective way to safeguard your smile, especially for children and teenagers who may be more prone to cavities.

What to Expect During the Sealant Application

Applying dental sealants is a quick, painless procedure completed in a single visit. Dr. Hunt will thoroughly clean and dry the teeth to ensure a strong bond. A special gel is then applied to the tooth surface to prepare it for the sealant. Once the gel is rinsed off, the sealant is painted onto the tooth and hardened with a curing light.

You can eat and drink immediately after the procedure, and the sealants will provide lasting protection with proper care and regular dental checkups.
