Dental Sealants

The purpose of a dental sealant is to create a protective barrier on your teeth to help prevent decay. Since back molars tend to have grooves that are difficult to clean, sealants can be used to help safeguard them from cavities.

Whether you are a child who has never had a cavity or an adult who is constantly going to the dentist, Turquoise Dental can determine if you are a good candidate for dental sealants.

WHAT IS A DENTAL SEALANT?

A dental sealant is a paste or gel that is placed on your tooth by a dentist. Usually, it is made of a specific type of plastic material, but sometimes other materials are used.

The dental sealant later hardens to create a strong coat over your tooth. If the dental sealant needs intense light to solidify, the dental professional will shine ADA approved lights on the tooth in the safety of the office. Once dental sealants have hardened they should be very durable and last for several years.
