Sealants on newly erupted first and second permanent molars are a common preventive treatment in dentistry.
A sealant is a thin, plastic-like material applied to the chewing surfaces of a child's permanent first and second molars. The sealant fills the grooves and depressions of the tooth preventing cavity-causing buildup. Sealants can help prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of a tooth.
Your visit begins with a careful evaluation of your oral health, concerns and treatment goals. The Center for Dental Medicine & Reconstruction team will explain whether sealants is appropriate for your needs and review relevant treatment options.
Your candidacy depends on your oral health, diagnosis and individual goals. A comprehensive examination at our Lincoln office allows our specialists to determine whether sealants should be part of your treatment plan.
