Extra Protection Against Cavities
At Van Orman Dental, we believe in preventive dentistry, and dental sealants are one of the best ways to protect teeth from cavities. Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, preventing bacteria and food particles from getting trapped in deep grooves.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a clear or tooth-colored resin coating that is applied to the deep pits and fissures of molars and premolars. They act as a barrier against plaque, bacteria, and acids, significantly reducing the risk of decay.
- Prevents cavities before they start
- Creates a smooth surface that’s easier to clean
- Long-lasting protection for up to 10 years
- Completely safe, painless, and quick to apply
Who Can Benefit from Dental Sealants?
- Children & Teens: Sealants are recommended for kids as soon as their permanent molars come in (around ages 6 and 12).
- Adults with Deep Grooves: If you have molars with deep crevices, sealants can help prevent cavities.
- Patients Prone to Cavities: If you frequently get cavities, sealants provide an added layer of protection.
How Are Dental Sealants Applied?
