Which teeth should be sealed?

Sealants are only applied to the back teeth – the molars and premolars. These are the teeth that have ‘pits’ (small hollows) and ‘fissures’ (grooves) on their biting surfaces. Our dental team will tell you which teeth should be sealed after they have examined them, and checked whether the fissures are deep enough for sealing to help. Some teeth naturally have deep grooves which will need to be sealed; others have shallow ones which will not need sealing.

Procedure

The process is usually quick and straightforward, taking only a few minutes for each tooth. The tooth is thoroughly cleaned, prepared with a special solution, and dried. The liquid sealant is then applied and allowed to set hard – usually by shining a bright light onto it.

Will I feel it?

No, it is totally pain free, and the teeth do not feel any different afterwards.

How long do pit and fissure sealants last?

Sealants usually last for many years, but our dental team will want to check them regularly to make sure that the seal is still intact. They can wear over time, and sometimes the dental team need to add or replace some sealant to be sure that no decay can start underneath it.

When should this be done?

Sealants are often applied as soon as the first permanent teeth start to come through. This is usually between 6 and 7 years of age. The rest are usually sealed as soon as they appear which can be any time between 11 and 14 years of age.

Pit and fissures of primary and permanent teeth should also be considered in children and young people with medical, physical, or intellectual disabilities, mostly when systemic health could be jeopardized by dental disease or the need for dental treatment.

Frequenty Asked Questions

The cost of preventive filling sealants typically ranges between ₹1000 to ₹3000 per tooth. However, the cost of preventive filling sealants may vary depending on the materials used and the complexity of the procedure. While the initial cost may seem significant, sealants are a worthwhile investment as they help prevent tooth decay and potential future dental expenses.

Dental sealants should be checked during regular dental check-ups to ensure they remain intact and effective. Over time, dental sealants can chip or wear away, leaving teeth vulnerable to decay. During these clinic visits, the dentist or dental hygienist can assess the condition of the sealants and repair them by adding more sealant material if necessary. Regular monitoring helps maintain their protective function and prolongs their lifespan.

Yes, sealants are considered a preventive dental treatment. Unlike fillings, which are restorative and used to repair teeth after decay has occurred, sealants are applied to healthy teeth to save them from decay. They act as a barrier, shielding the chewing surfaces of teeth, particularly molars, from bacteria and food particles that can lead to cavities. This makes them an essential tool in maintaining long-term oral health.

Teenagers & children are the most eligible candidates for dental sealants because their newly erupted permanent teeth are more susceptible to decay. However, adults without fillings or decay in their molars can also benefit from sealants. In general, people who are prone to tooth decay, especially on the chewing parts of their back teeth, should consider this preventive treatment.

Sealants are generally not applied to front teeth. While front teeth do come into contact with food and beverages, they lack the deep pits and grooves found on molars and premolars, which are the primary targets for the bacteria causing tooth decay. Instead of sealants, dentists typically recommend other preventive treatments to protect the front teeth.
