At Care32 Dental Clinics in Vadodara, we believe that prevention is the most effective dental treatment. That’s why we offer dental sealants—a simple yet powerful solution to protect your teeth from cavities. Especially effective for children, teenagers, and adults with deep grooves in their molars, sealants act as a barrier against bacteria, plaque, and food particles that can lead to decay.
Dental sealants are safe, quick to apply, and provide long-term protection, making them one of the most valuable tools in preventive dentistry.
Tooth decay often begins in the deep grooves and pits of the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where brushing alone may not reach. Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings—usually made from medical-grade resin—applied to these surfaces to:
Seal out food debris and bacteria
Prevent cavities and enamel wear
Make teeth easier to clean and maintain
Sealants are particularly recommended for children aged 6–14, but they’re also beneficial for adults with cavity-prone molars.
Getting dental sealants is fast, painless, and non-invasive. The entire procedure takes only a few minutes per tooth and can be done during a routine dental check-up. Here’s what to expect:
Our dentist first examines your teeth to ensure they’re healthy and free of decay. If any minor decay is detected, it may be cleaned before sealant application.
The teeth receiving sealants are thoroughly cleaned to remove plaque and food particles. Each tooth is then dried and kept isolated to prevent saliva contamination.
A mild acidic solution is applied to the chewing surface to roughen it slightly, which helps the sealant bond securely to the enamel.
The liquid sealant material is painted onto the tooth surface. It flows into the pits and grooves to create a smooth, protective shield.
A special curing light is used to harden the sealant. Once set, the dentist checks your bite and ensures the sealant is smooth and effective.

Dental sealants require very little maintenance, but proper care can extend their lifespan:
Avoid sticky or overly hard foods for the first 24 hours.
Maintain regular brushing and flossing habits to keep the rest of your mouth healthy.
Attend routine dental checkups so we can check for any wear or chipping in the sealant.
Limit sugary snacks and acidic drinks to protect both sealed and unsealed teeth.
If a sealant wears down or comes off, it can be easily reapplied during a dental visit.
Children and Teenagers (Ages 6–14): Most prone to developing cavities as permanent molars come in.
Adults with Deep Grooves or History of Cavities: Even if you’ve had fillings before, sealants can protect remaining healthy teeth.
Patients Undergoing Orthodontic Treatment: Braces can make cleaning harder—sealants add a layer of protection.
Patients with Special Needs: Extra protection for those who may struggle with thorough brushing.
Dental sealants typically last between 5 to 10 years, depending on chewing habits and oral hygiene. During regular checkups at Care32, our dentists will monitor your sealants and reapply them if necessary to ensure continued protection.
