What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars), where decay often starts. The coating acts as a barrier against bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities. Dental Wellness Centers of Georgia is dedicated to providing quality sealants to help keep teeth free from decay and make oral care easier for children and adults alike.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
Adding a layer of dental sealant to your teeth offers several benefits:
- Prevents Cavities: Sealants block out bacteria, helping to reduce cavity risk by up to 80%.
- Easy and Painless Application: Sealants are applied quickly without discomfort.
- Long-lasting Protection: With proper care, dental sealants can last up to a decade, providing long-term defense.
- Ideal for Kids and Teens: Children and teens are often more prone to cavities, making sealants a great preventive measure.

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are commonly recommended for children as soon as their permanent molars come in, usually around ages 6 to 12. However, adults without existing decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants. Our team will evaluate your family’s dental needs and recommend sealants if they are a good option for long-term cavity prevention.
What to Expect During Your Sealant Application
At Dental Wellness Centers of Georgia, we make the sealant process simple and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect:
- Teeth Cleaning: The dentist or hygienist cleans and dries the tooth surface.
- Sealant Application: The sealant material is applied to the grooves of each molar.
- Quick Curing: A special light hardens the sealant, creating a durable layer that protects the tooth.
This painless procedure is completed in a matter of minutes, giving you instant protection against decay.
