Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are necessary to supplement the primary elements of oral hygiene. Sealants prevent the formation of cavities. Sealants also serve as a barrier to the formation of plaque and acid, ultimately safeguarding tooth enamel. In fact, dental sealants are commonly added to permanent molars in the initial years after they erupt. General & Cosmetic Dentistry in Seattle will keep you perfectly comfortable throughout the dental sealant procedure. The teeth are sealed so they remain dry throughout the dental sealant procedure. If your child needs dental sealants, we will keep him or her calm throughout the application process.

Effective bonding occurs when the tooth that is sealed is cleaned, properly etched, washed, subsequently dried, conditioned and permitted time to properly cure. The actual sealant added to the teeth is a thin film that the patient will not notice on his or her teeth. If you know or suspect your child needs dental sealants, do not hesitate to reach out to our office.
