Dental Sealants in New York, NY
Thin protective coatings applied to the grooves of back teeth to block bacteria and reduce cavity risk.
How sealants work
A simple shield against decay
Sealants are a thin resin coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They fill in the grooves and pits where bacteria and food particles tend to collect, areas that are difficult to clean with a toothbrush alone.
The application is quick, painless, and does not require drilling or anesthesia. Sealants are most commonly placed on children and teens but can benefit adults with deep grooves as well.
