Protect Your Smile from Cavities Before They Start

Professional Dental Sealants

Dental Sealants at The Bellport Village Dentist

Our teeth play an important role in our lives, and we need to make sure that we keep them protected. Protection from tooth decay is important and that’s where dental sealants come into play. The availability of dental sealants allows for more effective protection than ever before. When properly applied to the teeth, dental sealants are very effective in protecting the tooth surfaces from cavities. Let’s take a look…

How does a sealant help prevent decay?

As we already know, dental sealants protect your tooth enamel from the bacteria and acids that cause decay. Brushing and flossing twice a day does help to remove food particles and plaque from your teeth, but it does not reach into the teeth’s depressions and grooves. By utilizing dental sealants, we can help to protect those often-missed areas of your teeth from food and bacteria. The use of dental sealants at The Bellport Village Dentist are extremely safe for your teeth and overall health. Contact our dental office to learn more about sealants and to find out if this is a solution for protecting your smile.

Our Dental Sealant Process

Our Dental Sealant Process are comfortable, comprehensive, and tailored to your needs. Here’s a step-by-step look at what happens during your visit:

Our dentist first examines the molars to ensure they’re healthy and free of cavities. Sealants are only placed on clean, decay-free teeth.

The teeth are cleaned and dried thoroughly. A special solution is applied to help the sealant bond to the tooth surface.

The sealant is carefully painted onto the tooth enamel and hardened with a curing light.

Once set, we check the sealant to ensure it fits comfortably with your bite and provide instructions for care.
