Dental Sealantsat RCT Smiles

Dental sealants act as a shield for your teeth, blocking out food particles and bacteria that can cause cavities. They work by sealing the deep grooves in your molars, making it easier to keep your teeth clean and decay-free.

🦷 Helps Prevent Cavities – Sealants prevent 80% of cavities for 2 years and 50% of cavities for up to 4 years.

🦷 Long-Lasting Protection – With proper care, sealants can last up to 9 years and are easy to replace if needed.

🦷 Great for Kids & Adults – School-age children without sealants have 3x more cavities than those with sealants!

🦷 Quick & Painless Application – The thin coating is painted on as a liquid and hardens in under a minute—that’s all there is to it!

A sealant is like a mini plastic filling, but tooth enamel has no nerves, so numbing is usually not necessary. Here’s what the process looks like:

1️⃣ Tooth Examination – We’ll check the teeth that need sealants. If decay is found, we’ll remove it first.
2️⃣ Preparation – A special solution is applied to help the sealant bond securely to your tooth.
3️⃣ Application – The sealant is painted onto the tooth and hardened with a curing light in seconds.
4️⃣ Final Check – That’s it! Your teeth are now protected from cavities.

Sealants are a simple, affordable, and effective way to keep your smile healthy for years to come!
