Protect Your Smile with Dental Sealants in Chadds Ford
At Eunson Dental, we believe in the power of preventive dentistry to keep your smile healthy and cavity-free. One of the best ways to protect your teeth—especially for children and teens—is with dental sealants. Our painless and effective sealant treatment helps prevent cavities before they start, providing long-lasting protection for your teeth.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth often have deep grooves and pits that can trap plaque and bacteria, making them harder to clean with regular brushing.
Prevents Cavities
Sealants act as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of decay by up to 80%.
Quick & Painless Application
The process is fast, non-invasive, and completely pain-free.
Long-Lasting Protection
Sealants can last for several years, providing ongoing defense against cavities.
Great for Kids & Adults
While sealants are commonly applied to children’s teeth, they are also beneficial for adults prone to cavities.
Why Are Sealants Important for Oral Health?
Even with good brushing and flossing habits, some areas of the teeth are more difficult to clean. Sealants help by:
✔ Blocking bacteria from settling into deep grooves.
✔ Making teeth easier to clean by creating a smoother surface.
✔ Preventing costly dental treatments by stopping decay before it starts.
According to the American Dental Association, sealants are a proven way to reduce cavities, especially in children and teens who may struggle with proper brushing techniques.
What to Expect During the Sealant Procedure
The application of dental sealants in Chadds Ford is a simple and comfortable process that takes only a few minutes per tooth. Here’s what you can expect:
✔ Teeth Cleaning – The tooth is first cleaned and dried.
✔ Sealant Application – A thin layer of the sealant material is brushed onto the surface of the tooth.
✔ Curing with a Special Light – A curing light hardens the sealant, bonding it securely to the tooth.
✔ Final Check – Our dentist ensures the sealant is properly placed and your bite feels normal.
✔ No numbing, drilling, or discomfort — just fast and effective cavity protection!
