Shielding Your Teeth from Decay

What Are Sealants?

Sealants are a highly effective preventive dental treatment used to protect the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars from cavities. These teeth are particularly prone to decay due to the deep grooves and fissures where food particles and bacteria can accumulate, making them harder to clean. Sealants are applied as a liquid solution that hardens into a thin, protective barrier over the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This barrier helps block out plaque and food particles, reducing the risk of decay. Sealants are especially beneficial for children, as their permanent molars are more vulnerable to cavities during their early years. 

However, adults with healthy teeth can also benefit from sealants, as they provide long-lasting protection against decay. At St. Johns Smile Co., we use high-quality sealants that are safe, effective, and durable, offering a simple yet powerful solution for cavity prevention. The application process is quick and painless, and the results can last for several years, providing peace of mind that your teeth are well-protected.

Benefits of Braces

Prevents Tooth Decay

Sealants act as a barrier against plaque and acids, protecting the deep grooves of molars and premolars from accumulating bacteria that can lead to cavities.

Long-Lasting Protection

Once applied, sealants can provide durable protection for several years, ensuring that your teeth are shielded from decay during the most cavity-prone years.

Easy and Quick Application

The process of applying sealants is simple and non-invasive. It involves cleaning the teeth, applying the sealant material, and using a curing light to harden the sealant, all in one short visit.
