What is sealing?
Sealing literally means “to seal” or “to close off.” It’s a dental procedure in which a thin layer of resin is applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. This is done painlessly and without drilling. The goal is to close deep grooves and pits, preventing bacteria from settling in hard-to-clean areas.
Why is sealing important?
Grooves in molars are difficult to clean, especially for children. Bacteria in plaque can accumulate there and cause cavities. By sealing these vulnerable areas, the risk of tooth decay is significantly reduced. Sealing is a safe and effective way to protect the teeth preventively.
When is sealing applied?
Sealing is usually done shortly after the permanent molars have erupted — the time when the risk of cavities is highest. It’s especially beneficial for children who struggle with thorough brushing. The treatment preserves the natural shape of the tooth and contributes to long-term oral health.
