Tooth Sealants
in Sylvania, OH
What’s better than treating cavities? Preventing them! We offer tooth sealants – also known as dental sealants – as an effective, preventive treatment to protect your teeth from decay. They’re especially beneficial for children and teens. But adults who are prone to cavities can benefit as well.
Tooth sealants are simple way to protect your molars and premolars. The thin, plastic coating seals tiny grooves where plaque can build up, creating a strong barrier against potential cavities. The process is fast, painless, and highly effective!

What to Know About Tooth Sealants
What are tooth sealants?
Tooth sealants, or dental sealants, are thin, plastic coatings that are painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They are particularly useful for:
- Children with newly erupted molars
- Teens who are cavity-prone
- Adults who have deep grooves or pits in their teeth
How do sealants prevent cavities?
Sealants act as a physical barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from getting stuck in the natural crevices of your teeth. This greatly reduces the risk of decay and makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
How long do sealants last?
With proper care, tooth sealants can last several years. During regular check-ups, our team will evaluate their condition and reapply as needed to maintain maximum protection.
Are sealants just for kids?
No, while sealants are most commonly applied to children’s molars, adults can also benefit. Adult candidates for sealants often have a history of cavities or deep grooves in their teeth that can make even regular brushing insufficient to prevent decay.
