Fortify And Protect Your Smile With Dental Sealants

Dental sealants can be a great way to keep your teeth healthy and help prevent cavities. We apply dental sealants at Gumucio Dental in Belle Glade to protect your molars from bacteria and decay.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. This coating helps protect them from the bacteria that cause decay. Because it’s applied like paint to the teeth, sealants seep into the deep pits and fissures to create an effective shield against bacteria.

What Is Involved In Getting Dental Sealants?

Getting dental sealants is an easy and painless process. First, our dentist will thoroughly clean the teeth to be sealed. The liquid sealant is then applied to the tooth enamel, where it bonds directly to the tooth surface. A special curing light hardens the sealant to provide maximum protection.

What Are The Benefits Of Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants can guard teeth against bacteria that cause decay, increasing the lifespan of your natural teeth. They can be easily applied in one visit and require no anesthesia. Dental sealants are durable and can last up to ten years with proper care.

Who Should Consider Getting Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are a great option for those with a high risk of developing cavities, especially children and young adults. They can also benefit those with poor oral hygiene habits or who are prone to grinding their teeth. People with deep pits and grooves in their molars or pre-molars or those with large fillings may find dental sealants can provide an extra layer of protection.
