The use of dental sealants has surged in popularity in recent years. What do you know about this often-recommended treatment? If you are in the dark about sealants, here is some information to jump-start your knowledge.

Sealants are a solution that a dentist can “paint” on areas of the teeth that are prone to decay. During the procedure, the solution hardens to create a protective barrier on the surface of the teeth. Sealants are generally applied to the chewing surface of the molars, which have difficult-to-clean fissures where food and bacteria can collect. Sealants can also be used to other tooth surfaces as recommended by a dentist.

Who Needs Dental Sealants?

The American Dental Association states that early application of sealants can save dental costs over time. Sealants are commonly recommended to children after their molars appear to prevent decay to those exposed surfaces. According to the experts at https://www.colgate.com, adults with risk factors for decay may also benefit from dental sealants.

Sealants Step-By-Step

The application of dental sealants is simple and painless, even for young patients. The American Dental Association outlines the following steps of the procedure:

1. First, teeth being treated will be cleaned and dried.
2. Next, an acidic gel will be applied to create a rough surface for the sealant to bond.
3. The gel will be rinsed and dried thoroughly.
4. The dentist will “paint” sealant onto the teeth being treated.
5. A special light will be aimed at the treated teeth to cure, or harden, the sealant.

What are the Risks?

Sealants are considered to have minimal risk. The American Dental Association states that sealants to have no reported side effects, although people who are allergic to any ingredient in dental sealants should not have the procedure. There is a small amount of Bisphenol A (BPA) contained in sealants; however, the American Dental Association lists several factors in our environment that expose us to much higher levels of BPA on a daily basis.
