Dental sealants in Barranquilla, Colombia

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to help prevent cavities. They seal deep grooves where food particles and bacteria can accumulate. They are mainly used in children and teenagers, although some adults may also benefit.

Which specialist applies dental sealants?

A general dentist or pediatric dentist can apply dental sealants. The dentist examines the molars to determine whether the grooves need protection and whether any cavities require treatment first.

At what age are dental sealants recommended?

They are commonly recommended when the first and second permanent molars erupt, at approximately ages 6 and 12. Early application can help prevent cavities alongside fluoride toothpaste, regular brushing, and dental checkups.
