Dental sealants near you are applied by your dentist, dental hygienist, or assistant. The process is brief, and applying a sealant to each tooth takes only a few minutes. The sealants are thoroughly cleaned, and cotton is applied to the surrounding area to keep it dry. A special solution is applied to the enamel surface which will help the sealant bond to the teeth. The teeth are then rinsed and dried. The sealant material is precisely painted onto the enamel surface, which covers the deep grooves or depressions. Usually a special curing light will be used to harden the sealant, or in some cases, the material will harden automatically.
Increasing the longevity of your dental sealants will require you to eat a balanced diet, practice proper oral care, and schedule regular dental visits.
