At J A Aneja Multispeciality Dental Centre, we believe in proactive dental care to prevent cavities and maintain optimal oral health. One of the most effective preventive treatments we offer is dental sealants.
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent decay. These teeth have deep grooves and pits where food particles and bacteria can accumulate, leading to cavities. Sealants act as a barrier, sealing these vulnerable areas and keeping them free from plaque and bacteria.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
- Prevents Cavities : Sealants reduce the risk of decay by up to 80% in molars.
- Long-Lasting Protection : With proper care, sealants can last for several years.
- Painless & Quick Application : The procedure is non-invasive, requiring just a few minutes per tooth.
- Ideal for Children & Adults : While commonly recommended for children, adults with deep grooves in their molars can also benefit.
Who Needs Dental Sealants?
- Children & Teenagers : The best time to apply sealants is as soon as the permanent molars erupt (around ages 6-12).
- Adults : Those with deep grooves in their teeth can also benefit from sealants to prevent decay.
- Patients Prone to Cavities : If you have a history of frequent cavities, sealants can provide added protection.
