FAQs
What exactly are dental sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They act like a shield, preventing food and bacteria from causing cavities in the grooves of your molars.
Who can benefit from sealants?
Sealants are great for children and adults alike. Kids often get them as soon as their permanent molars come in, but adults who have deep grooves on their teeth can also benefit from this preventive treatment.
Is the sealant application painful?
Not at all. The process is quick and painless. We simply clean and dry your teeth before applying the sealant material, which hardens quickly without any drilling or discomfort.
How long do sealants last?
Sealants typically last several years but can wear down over time. During regular checkups at Crenshaw & Slauson Family Dentistry, we’ll inspect your sealants and reapply them if needed to keep your teeth protected.
Can sealants replace regular brushing and flossing?
No, sealants are an extra layer of protection but don’t replace daily oral hygiene. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and regular dental visits remain essential for overall dental health.
