KIDS DENTAL SEALANTS

THE OVERVIEW

When it comes to tooth protection, modern dentistry offers more options than ever before. Dental sealants are essentially a kind of plastic coating that is placed on the tooth’s chewing surface. This is particularly true for permanent posterior teeth like molars and premolars. These sealants work incredibly well to keep teeth free from decay. Sealants are essential for maintaining long-term dental health because they shield the molar’s chewing surface, which is prone to cracks and grooves.

Dental sealants can also benefit adult teeth. They enable many benefits for adults whose teeth have deep grooves and cracks. This kind of dental treatment is challenging to identify since it is transparent and closely resembles a real tooth’s colour. If the patient takes adequate care of their sealant, most will endure for many years.

Steps to Pediatric Dental Sealant Processing

Step 1: Dental Examination

A complete dental examination is the initial step in applying paediatric dental sealants. Our dentists will examine the general dental health of your kid, looking for cavities or other indications of decay. This initial evaluation helps determine whether dental sealants are a suitable preventive measure for your child.

Step 2: Tooth Cleaning and Preparation

The dentist will start by carefully cleaning the teeth after deciding to apply dental sealants. This entails cleaning the surfaces of the teeth that will get the sealant of any dirt or plaque. Proper cleaning ensures that the sealant adheres effectively to the tooth enamel.

Step 3: Isolation and Etching

The dentist will use cotton rolls or a rubber dam to isolate the teeth to guarantee a long-lasting adhesion between the sealant and the tooth surface. A mildly acidic solution is used to etch the tooth enamel after isolation. Roughening the surface improves the sealant’s ability to stick to it.

Step 4: Sealant Application

With the tooth surface prepared, the next step is the application of the dental sealant. Dr Haider and his team will carefully paint the liquid sealant onto the pits and grooves of the molars and premolars. The sealant quickly hardens, forming a protective shield over the tooth surface. Some sealants may require a curing light to expedite the hardening process.

Step 5: Assessment and Adjustment

Dr. Haider and his staff will assess the sealant’s efficacy and make any required modifications once it has been applied and solidified. This might entail examining the bite to make sure everything is aligned correctly and determining how much sealant has been applied to each tooth overall. A smooth and useful surface is produced by trimming any extra material.

Step 6: Instructions for Post-Application Care

After the sealant application, Dr Haider will provide you with post-care instructions. These usually contain advice on how to maintain consistent dental hygiene habits and steer clear of items that can weaken the sealant.
