Dental Sealants
Protect Your Smile with Dental Sealants at Eagle Ridge Dentistry
Sealant solutions at Eagle Ridge Dentistry can help ensure your teeth stay healthy for life! Dental sealants act as a barrier to protect teeth from harmful acids and bacteria that can lead to decay.
Shielding Smiles from Tooth Decay
Kids often struggle with brushing their teeth effectively, even with the best efforts from parents to encourage good habits. Young children may lack the coordination needed to thoroughly clean their teeth, leaving them vulnerable to plaque buildup and tooth decay.
This isn’t just a challenge for kids—adults with disabilities or limited hand or arm mobility may also find it difficult to brush properly, which can increase their risk of developing cavities.
Long-Lasting Protection
Dental sealants are designed to last, often protecting children’s teeth well into their late teens or early twenties. During routine check-ups, our team at Eagle Ridge Dentistry will monitor your sealants to ensure they remain intact. If a touch-up is needed, it’s a quick and easy process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay most often occurs. Sealants act as a shield that protects your teeth from plaque and acids that can cause cavities.
Dental sealants are particularly beneficial for children, who may struggle with effective brushing, but they can also be helpful for adults who are at higher risk of tooth decay due to difficulties with proper brushing.
No, applying dental sealants is a quick and painless procedure. The sealant is painted onto the tooth’s surface and hardens within seconds, providing immediate protection against decay.
Dental sealants are most effective when applied to teeth without decay or fillings. If decay is present, it must be treated before a sealant can be applied. Sealants are typically used as a preventive measure rather than a treatment for existing cavities.
Caring for sealed teeth is the same as caring for any other teeth—brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups. Sealants add an extra layer of protection but don’t replace the need for good oral hygiene.
