Dental Sealants
Tooth decay often starts in the deep grooves and pits of your back teeth, where brushing alone may not be enough. At odento dental, we offer dental sealants — a simple, painless treatment that creates a protective barrier over these vulnerable areas to stop cavities before they start.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, tooth-coloured or clear resin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They “seal” the deep grooves where food particles and bacteria can get trapped, making it easier to keep teeth clean and decay-free.
Who Can Benefit from Sealants?
Children – As soon as their permanent molars erupt (around ages 6–7 and 11–13)
Teens – Especially those prone to cavities
Adults – With deep grooves or a history of tooth decay
Benefits of Dental Sealants
Cavity Prevention – Creates a smooth, cleanable surface
Painless & Quick – No drilling or injections required
Long-Lasting Protection – Can last several years with good care
Cost-Effective – Prevents the need for future fillings

Caring for Your Sealants
Sealants are strong but should be checked at every dental visit. Avoid chewing very hard foods (like ice) to help them last longer.
