Dental Sealants in Inglewood, CA
Keep your teeth safe from decay with professional dental sealants at Blue Diamond Dental. Even with great brushing and flossing habits, it can be hard to clean the deep grooves in your back teeth. Our expert team in Inglewood, CA, provides this simple, highly effective treatment to stop cavities before they ever have a chance to start.
What Are Dental Sealants?
A dental sealant is a thin, tooth-colored acrylic coating that we carefully paint onto the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (premolars and molars). These teeth naturally have deep pits and fissures where food particles and plaque easily get trapped.
When we apply a sealant, it bonds right into these depressions. This creates a smooth, protective shield over your enamel. This barrier effectively blocks out the harmful bacteria and acids that cause tooth decay, keeping your smile healthy and strong.
Why Choose Dental Sealants?
We highly recommend dental sealants as a proactive way to protect your oral health. While brushing and flossing are essential daily habits, toothbrush bristles simply cannot reach all the way into the microscopic grooves of your back teeth.
Sealants act as a trusty safety net. They hold up incredibly well under the normal force of chewing and can last for several years before you need a reapplication. Both children and adults can benefit immensely from this simple layer of protection in the fight against cavities.
A Quick and Completely Painless Process
Getting dental sealants is one of the easiest and most comfortable treatments we offer. The entire process takes just a few minutes per tooth, and it requires zero drilling or numbing.
Here is what you can expect:
- First, we thoroughly clean and dry the tooth.
- Next, we apply a gentle conditioning gel to help the sealant bond to your enamel.
- We then rinse and dry the tooth once more.
- Finally, we paint the liquid sealant onto the grooves of your tooth and use a special curing light to harden it instantly.
You can walk out of our office and eat normally right away.
