Dental Sealants
in Roseville, CA

The chewing surfaces of your back teeth are full of deep grooves and pits — perfect hiding places for food particles and cavity-causing bacteria, and often too narrow for even a single toothbrush bristle to reach. That's why molars are where most cavities start.

Dental sealants solve the problem simply: a thin, protective coating is painted onto those chewing surfaces, flowing into the grooves and hardening into a smooth shield that bacteria can't penetrate. Studies show sealants can prevent the vast majority of cavities in molars.

The application couldn't be easier — no drilling, no numbing, no discomfort. Each tooth takes just a couple of minutes: clean, apply, harden with a light, done. It's one of the fastest, most affordable pieces of prevention in all of dentistry.

Sealants are especially valuable for children as their permanent molars come in (around ages 6 and 12), but cavity-prone adults with deep grooves benefit just as much.
