Protect Your Teeth with Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a preventive treatment designed to protect teeth from cavities and decay. At Ashland Family and Implant Dentistry, Dr. Ali Almaawi, DDS, FICOI applies a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, where grooves and pits can trap food and bacteria. Sealants are a simple, effective way to keep teeth healthy and reduce the risk of cavities, especially for children and teens, but adults can benefit as well.
How Dental Sealants Are Applied
Under the expert leadership of Dr. Ali Almaawi, DDS, FICOI, the process for applying sealants is quick, painless, and non-invasive. First, your teeth are thoroughly cleaned and dried. Next, a liquid resin is painted onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth. The resin is then hardened using a special curing light, forming a durable barrier against plaque and bacteria. The entire procedure typically takes just a few minutes per tooth, and the results can last for several years with proper care.
