Who Should Get Dental Sealants? During your dental examination, we'll evaluate your teeth and let you know whether sealants are a good preventive option for you.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings, usually made from a special tooth-safe resin, that are painted onto the deep grooves of your back teeth. Sealants flow into these deep areas like a liquid, then harden into a protective shield. This way, it stops cavities before they have a chance to form.

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are recommended for children soon after their first and second permanent molars erupt, usually between the ages of 6 and 14. Teenagers and adults with healthy molars that have deep grooves but no existing decay may also benefit.

Sealants Procedure at Woodbridge Smile Centre

The entire process is very comfortable and can often be completed during a routine dental visit.

Teeth Preparation

First, our dentist thoroughly cleans the teeth to remove plaque and debris. Once the teeth are clean, they dry them carefully to ensure the sealant bonds properly.

Application of Dental Sealants

The dentist applies a special conditioning solution to prepare the tooth surface. After rinsing and drying the tooth again, they paint the dental sealant into the grooves of the tooth where cavities most commonly develop.

Curing

We use a special curing light to quickly harden the sealant. Once it has set, we check your bite to ensure everything feels natural. You can return to your normal activities immediately after your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental sealants prevent cavities before they start. Fillings, on the other hand, are used after a cavity has formed. In short, sealants help you avoid needing fillings in the first place.

Yes, in certain situations. Sealants are most commonly placed on permanent molars; however, they may also be recommended for baby teeth that have deep grooves or are considered at higher risk for decay.

It depends on the plan. Private dental insurance in Canada often covers sealants for children under 18 (as preventive care), but not always for adults. Also, CDCP covers sealants only for clients 17 years and under (on specific teeth, lifetime limit of 2 per tooth).

No, most modern sealants are either clear (transparent) or tooth-colored. This means they’re white or lightly tinted to match your enamel.
