Sealants: A Simple Step for Lasting Protection
Dental Sealants Near You In Sharon
A dental sealant is a thin plastic coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Our dental sealants, available near you in Sharon, ON, are applied to the pits and fissures of your teeth, providing protection from decay and cavities. Think of dental sealants as a raincoat for your teeth. Once applied, they prevent food particles and cavity-causing bacteria from producing acids and creating cavities, effectively sealing your teeth. Just like a raincoat keeps you dry in a storm. While children and teenagers usually get dental sealants, adults can also benefit from them.

The Procedure for Dental Sealants
In one visit, your dentist or dental hygienist in Sharon can complete the straightforward dental sealant procedure. To apply the dental sealant, your dentist or dental hygienist will first absorb saliva around your teeth and keep them dry by placing a cotton ball around them. Next, they'll apply a solution that adheres to the sealant to your tooth. Approximately one minute later, they will rinse your teeth, dry them, and place the sealant.
