Dental sealants are a highly effective, preventive therapy designed to protect young teeth from decay. The chewing surfaces of baby and adult molars naturally have deep pits and fissures; tiny grooves where food particles and bacteria easily gather. Located in Cloverdale, WA, Wright Street Dental Clinic recommends sealants to seal off these vulnerable areas before cavities can form.
How Dental Sealants Work
A sealant is a liquid coating applied directly to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, which quickly hardens into a durable, protective plastic shield.
Key features and benefits of sealant therapy include:
Completely Painless: Sealant application is non-invasive, requiring no drilling and no local anesthetic.
Effective Decay Barrier: Smooths out deep molar grooves so food and plaque cannot get trapped in hard-to-clean spaces.
Proven Safety: Sealants are a trusted, routine dental treatment with a proven track record of protecting children's teeth for decades.
Tailored Protection for Your Child
Whether your child needs sealants depends on the depth of their tooth grooves and their overall risk for decay. Dr Navangi Fernando and Dr Rajinda Pathirana can perform a gentle examination to determine if sealants are right for your child.
