Dental Sealants in South Burlington
Dental sealants are one of the most effective preventive treatments available for protecting teeth from decay. A thin, protective coating is painted onto the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars), where most cavities develop.
The sealant bonds into the grooves and pits of the tooth, forming a shield that seals out food particles and bacteria.
Who Benefits from Sealants?
While sealants are most commonly applied to children and teens as soon as their permanent molars come in, adults can benefit from sealants as well, especially if they have deep grooves in their teeth or are prone to cavities. The application is quick, painless, and requires no drilling or anesthesia.
Sealants can last several years before they need to be reapplied, and we check their condition at every regular dental visit.
When combined with regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings at Green Mountain Dental, sealants provide an excellent layer of long-term defense against tooth decay for patients of all ages in South Burlington and the surrounding communities.
