Sealants for Children & Adults
Hellertown, PA


Sealants are generally used to help prevent tooth decay on the biting surfaces of back teeth (molars). The natural grooves of these teeth can trap food that can resist casual brushing and rinsing. If left in place, the trapped food allows bacteria to multiply, eventually causing tooth decay and requiring costly attention.

Child receiving dental sealants from DeWire Dental in Hellertown, PA
In children, sealants are painted directly onto the tooth where they seal the natural grooves to help prevent tooth decay. While sealants are durable, they are not permanent. They can last up to 5 years of normal wear before needing replacement.

For adults, molars or teeth with deep grooves that have not been affected by decay should also consider sealants to protect against cavities. Sealants are placed the same way as in children, and last an average of 5 years.

Sealants offer a cost-effective, preventative step to reduce the chances of tooth decay on the chewing surfaces of molars. However, they do not replace the need for regular brushing, flossing, and cleanings and exams.
