The germs in the mouth turn the sugar in foods into acids. Over time, acids can form cavities in the teeth called cavities. Of course it is best to have healthy teeth and prevent cavities. That is why at SAN MAGNO Clinic – Dr. Sara Velez we give importance to dental sealants.
Dental sealants are fluid resins that protect the tooth by sealing the irregularities of the surface of the premolars and molars, preventing bacteria from entering the pits and fissures of the teeth.
Sealers are an alternative to protect these vulnerable areas against the buildup of plaque and food. The application of dental sealants in SAN MAGNO Dental Clinic is simple and painless. Dental sealants are applied by “painting” the tooth with a liquid layer that hardens quickly with a polymerization lamp and forms a protective coating. It is possible that some people confuse dental sealants with caries fillers, but they are not the same.
The sealants act as a physical barrier between the depth of the groove of the tooth and the outside. Sealants can reduce the incidence of caries by 45% to 70% in occlusal surfaces of both premolars and molars.

HOW LONG DOES A DENTAL SEALANT PROTECT?
A dental sealant application can protect the teeth for up to 10 years, but it is necessary for the pediatric dentist to check the sealant periodically to ensure it has not become detached or worn.
Sealants are particularly beneficial for children because their permanent, newly erupted teeth are more prone to decay due to the lack of maturity of their tooth enamel.
