Dental Sealants
in Calabash, NC
The chewing surfaces of back teeth have grooves and pits that help break down food. These narrow spaces can also trap plaque and food particles, even with consistent brushing and flossing.
Dental sealants offer a practical way to strengthen vulnerable areas and reduce the risk of decay.

How Are Dental Sealants Placed?
The application process is quick and comfortable. Each tooth is cleaned, prepared, and dried before the sealant is painted on. A special curing light then hardens the material, creating a durable shield that holds up under normal chewing forces.
Most appointments take only a few minutes per tooth.
Who Benefits from Dental Sealants?
Children and teenagers are common candidates because newly erupted permanent molars are especially prone to decay. Applying sealants can help protect teeth during cavity-prone years.
Adults may also benefit, particularly if their molars have deep grooves or a history of cavities.
Are Dental Sealants Permanent?
Sealants are long-lasting, but not permanent. With proper care, they can remain in place for several years. During routine dental exams, our team checks the condition of existing sealants and recommends reapplication if needed to maintain protection.
