Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay is most likely to occur. The sealant acts as a barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from getting trapped in the deep grooves and crevices of the molars. This simple, painless procedure significantly reduces the risk of cavities and makes oral hygiene easier.

• Effective Cavity Prevention: Provides a strong barrier against bacteria and food particles.
• Quick and Painless: The application process is simple, non-invasive, and completed in just one visit.
• Long-Lasting Protection: Sealants can last for several years with proper care.
• Ideal for Children and Teens: Helps protect teeth during the cavity-prone years.

Applying dental sealants at Russo Family Dentistry & Aesthetics is a quick and comfortable process:

1. Thorough Cleaning: The teeth are cleaned and dried to prepare for the sealant application.
2. Preparation: A special gel is applied to the chewing surface of the tooth to help the sealant bond securely.
3. Sealant Application: The liquid sealant is painted onto the tooth and allowed to flow into the grooves and crevices.
4. Curing: The sealant is hardened using a special curing light, creating a durable protective shield.
