What you can anticipate during a dental sealant treatment at our office
A sealant is similar to a small plastic filling, but numbing is usually not necessary because tooth enamel does not have nerves.
- First, we will assess the tooth or teeth that need to be sealed and remove any decay if necessary.
- Then, we will apply a solution to improve the adhesion of the sealing material to the tooth surface.
- Finally, we will apply the sealant by painting it onto the tooth and using a curing light if needed. And that's all there is to it!
