Sealants

A healthy smile starts with early care for your child’s teeth. One of the most effective preventive treatments in modern dentistry is dental sealing – applying a special protective layer over the chewing surfaces of the molars.

This method is completely painless, highly effective, and can reduce the risk of cavities by up to 70%.

What are sealants?

A sealant is a special dental material applied by the dentist to the deep grooves and fissures of the chewing teeth — the most difficult areas to clean and the most prone to decay. Once applied, the material hardens and forms a smooth protective layer that acts like a shield, safeguarding the enamel and making daily oral hygiene easier.

Why is sealing important?

The first permanent molars appear around the age of six, when the enamel is still developing and vulnerable to cavities. Sealing at this stage provides timely prevention, strengthening the teeth, making them more resistant to bacteria, and minimizing the need for future treatments.

It gives parents peace of mind and children — healthy, cavity-free teeth.

How does the procedure work?

The process is quick, simple, and painless, taking only a few minutes per tooth:

  1. Careful cleaning of the tooth
  2. Application of a special gel to improve adhesion
  3. Rinsing and drying the surface
  4. Applying the liquid sealant into the grooves
  5. Hardening the material with a special light

The child can eat and drink immediately after the procedure — no recovery period is needed.

What are the advantages?

  • Painless and non-invasive – no anesthesia, no discomfort
  • Reliable cavity prevention – reduces risk by up to 70%
  • Long-lasting protection – sealants can last for years
  • Easier cleaning – smoother surfaces reduce plaque buildup
  • Ideal for children – best for the first permanent teeth
