Some parts of the mouth are more vulnerable than others—especially the deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. These areas can be difficult to clean thoroughly, especially for children and teens, and are a common site for early cavities.

Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to those surfaces to help shield them from plaque, acids, and bacteria. The process is quick, painless, and non-invasive—no freezing, no drilling. Just a few minutes of gentle preparation and a layer of added protection that can last for years.

Sealants are often recommended for children as their adult molars come in, but they can be helpful at any age—especially for patients who are more cavity-prone, have deep grooves, or face challenges with daily hygiene.

A few minutes now can mean fewer fillings later—and one more way we help reduce your long-term risk.
