OVERVIEW
Preventive Dental Care
You should visit the dentist two or three times a year. Through regular examinations, the dentist can identify cavities, gum disease, and other dental abnormalities, and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Teeth can have deep grooves and pits that are very difficult to keep clean. Plaque can collect in these grooves and bacteria produce acids that can break down the enamel and cause tooth decay.
A sealant is a clear protective plastic coating applied to the biting surface of the back teeth. It acts as a barrier that prevents food and bacteria from entering the tiny grooves, helping prevent cavities.

Who Can Have Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants can be used for both children and adults.
They are particularly useful for teeth with deep and narrow grooves where food and bacteria are likely to accumulate and where regular brushing may not be sufficient to clean the area effectively.
How Does Dental Sealant Work?
The natural pits and grooves on the chewing surfaces of teeth can retain food particles and bacteria.
The sealant fills and covers these grooves, creating a protective barrier. This makes the tooth surface easier to clean and reduces the accumulation of food and bacteria, helping prevent cavities.
THE PROCESS
Dental Sealant Procedure
The procedure is very simple, taking only a few minutes per tooth without causing any pain.
