Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Sealants
At what age should kids get sealants?
The ideal time is when permanent molars come in - usually around age 6 for first molars and age 12 for second molars. Sealing teeth early, before decay can start, provides the best protection.
How long do dental sealants last?
Sealants can protect teeth for up to 10 years with proper care. We check them at every visit and can easily reapply if they wear down. The protection they provide is well worth it.
Does getting sealants hurt?
Not at all! Sealants are completely painless - no drilling or needles. We simply paint the liquid sealant onto the tooth surface and harden it with a special light. Kids often say it tickles!
Can adults get dental sealants?
Yes! While most common for children, adults with cavity-prone teeth or deep grooves can benefit from sealants too. Ask us if sealants might help protect your teeth.
Do sealants replace brushing and flossing?
No - sealants are an additional layer of protection, not a substitute for good oral hygiene. They protect the chewing surfaces, but brushing and flossing are still essential for preventing decay between teeth and at the gumline.
