Dental Sealants

Dental Sealants in Edmonton

Cavities commonly appear within the naturally deep pits of your molars. These pits can be hard to reach when you are brushing your teeth, providing a great environment for bacteria to build up. To help prevent cavities from forming in your molars, consider dental sealant. Sealants are a plastic film coating used to protect the biting surface of your teeth. They shield the grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque, making brushing and flossing easier. If you’re interested in dental sealants in Edmonton, turn to Janz Family Dental. We provide dental sealants to patients of all ages.

Applying Dental Sealants – What To Expect

The dental sealant process is relatively quick and easy. It requires no freezing or numbing because the procedure is not extensive or overly invasive. Sealants are usually applied after your teeth have been prepped. The hygienist will polish the surface of your teeth and remove any plaque or food debris. The teeth to be sealed will be isolated and dried.

Next, the bonding and sealant materials are placed on the surface of your molars. Usually, the sealant is brushed on with a small brush and allowed to harden or cure. Once cured, the sealant is done. The sealant will be nearly invisible and won’t feel any different than the surfaces of your natural teeth. The whole process generally takes only a few minutes and can be completed in one appointment.

Dental Sealants For Children

While dental sealants can be applied at any age, children are the likeliest candidates. Many young children have a hard time brushing their back or posterior teeth. These teeth contain deep anatomical grooves where food particles and plaque-like sticks. If the plaque is not removed, then a cavity will form.

Sealants help keep the plaque from being wedged too deeply into the grooves of teeth, making it easier to remove during brushing and flossing. Dental sealants from Edmonton’s Janz Family Dental are an excellent cavity prevention measure for children. After all, getting a quick sealant placed beats getting a cavity any day!

Janz Family Dental offers sedation dentistry for stress-free dental care, making visits less anxiety-inducing for patients. We provide varying degrees of relaxation during procedures based on patient needs and preferences.
