Preventive sealants offer one of the most effective ways to protect teeth from decay before problems develop. At Dentaire Dentistry, Dr. Delmar emphasizes the importance of proactive oral health care, and preventive sealants are a cornerstone of this approach. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, creating a barrier that prevents bacteria and food particles from settling into deep grooves where cavities commonly begin.
As part of our comprehensive preventive care philosophy, Dr. Delmar evaluates each patient’s unique risk factors and tooth anatomy to determine when preventive sealants would be most beneficial. While particularly valuable for children and teens, adults with deep tooth grooves can also benefit from this proactive treatment. By preventing decay before it starts, sealants help maintain your natural teeth and avoid the need for more extensive restorative procedures in the future.
Preventive sealants work by stopping decay before it starts, providing a protective barrier over the most vulnerable areas of your teeth. This proactive approach helps maintain optimal oral health and prevents the need for fillings or other restorative treatments.
Quality preventive sealants provide years of continuous protection against cavity-causing bacteria and acids. This durable barrier maintains its effectiveness with proper care, offering ongoing defense for your most cavity-prone teeth.
Preventive sealants benefit patients of all ages, from children receiving their first permanent molars to adults seeking to protect teeth with deep grooves. The application process is gentle, quick, and comfortable for every family member.

Preventive sealants create a smooth, protective barrier over the deep pits and grooves in your back teeth where toothbrush bristles cannot reach effectively. This barrier prevents food particles and bacteria from accumulating in these vulnerable areas, significantly reducing the risk of decay and helping maintain your natural teeth.
The ideal time for preventive sealants is soon after permanent molars erupt, typically around ages 6-7 and 11-14. However, Dr. Delmar evaluates each patient individually to determine optimal timing. Adults with deep grooves or high cavity risk can also benefit from preventive sealants at any age.
Unlike fillings that treat existing decay, preventive sealants are applied to healthy teeth to stop cavities from forming in the first place. This proactive approach aligns with Dr. Delmar’s philosophy that prevention is always preferable to treatment, helping you maintain optimal oral health while avoiding future dental problems.
The preventive sealant application is simple and painless. After thoroughly cleaning your teeth, Dr. Delmar prepares the tooth surface, applies the sealant material to the grooves, and uses a special light to harden the protective coating. The entire process takes just minutes per tooth with no discomfort.
Yes, preventive sealants are an important component of comprehensive preventive care. Dr. Delmar checks your sealants during routine visits to ensure they remain intact and effective. If needed, sealants can be easily repaired or replaced to maintain continuous protection against decay.
Preventive sealants work alongside regular brushing, flossing, professional cleanings, and routine examinations as part of a complete preventive care strategy. Dr. Delmar will discuss how sealants complement your family’s other preventive measures to provide comprehensive protection against cavities and maintain long-term oral health.
