Applying dental sealants is straightforward and painless. The dentist requires a few minutes to complete the application on the targeted tooth. You might experience discomfort sitting with your mouth open in the dentist’s chair for a few minutes, but it is unlikely that you will. The dentist completes the application by first cleaning the targeted tooth and drying it. Next, the chewing surfaces of the tooth receive an application of an acid solution to rough the surface to assist the sealant bond to the tooth. Finally, the tooth is cleaned and dried before the sealant is painted on the tooth enamel. Dental sealants harden instantly because the dentist uses a curing light for this purpose.
Whether your child receives dental sealants to prevent cavities or you need these bonds for sensitive teeth, the expenses involved are minimal, and the protection they provide is significant. Therefore do not hesitate to give your child a safety mechanism on their molars to prevent tooth decay and receive sealants on your teeth if you are experiencing sensitivity.
