Sealing is the easiest way to prevent cavities without drilling. Protect your teeth while they are healthy.
Teeth sealing is a simple but very effective preventive procedure in which a special protective resin is applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars (especially in children and teenagers), which prevents bacteria and food debris from settling in the grooves of the teeth and thus the development of tooth decay. The treatment is quick, painless and without the need for drilling.
The dentist will first check whether your tooth is suitable for a filling – it must be healthy, free of decay or only with very superficial damage.
The tooth will then be professionally cleaned, paying special attention to the chewing surface, where the sealant will be applied.
The dentist dries the tooth and separates it from the saliva using cotton rollers or a special rubber dam to ensure the surface is dry.
For a few seconds, a special gel is applied to the tooth surface, which roughens the enamel and improves the adhesion of the sealant. After a short while, the gel is thoroughly rinsed off and the tooth is dried again – the prepared surface must be clean and dry.
After initial preparation, the dentist applies a liquid sealant directly into the grooves and pits on the chewing surface of the tooth and cures it using a special polymerization lamp.
Finally, he will check whether the sealant is interfering with the bite. If so, he will gently adjust it by grinding.
After treatment, you will receive instructions on how to care for your sealed teeth and the need for regular check-ups to keep the sealant in the best possible condition.
