What Are Dental Sealants?

In the following video, Dr. Vahid Bashi explains dental sealants for children and their role in reducing cavities through painless procedures.

Dental sealants are a protective measure primarily used for children aged six and older as their permanent teeth start to come in. These sealants are applied to the grooves and fissures of the teeth, creating a protective cover. The main purpose of dental sealants is to facilitate easier tooth cleaning and maintenance, ultimately reducing the risk of cavities in children’s teeth.

The process of applying dental sealants is quick and straightforward. It involves bonding the sealant material into the grooves of the teeth without the need for anesthesia or needles. This makes it a comfortable and painless procedure for children. Dental sealants are an effective preventative measure against cavities and are often covered by many dental insurance plans, making them a convenient and cost-effective option for promoting good oral health in children.
