Dental Sealants in Wilmington, DE
Protect Hard-to-Reach Areas
Sealants help block cavities before they start—especially in kids and teens.
Quick, non-invasive, and long-lasting.
What Are Dental Sealants?
A Simple Solution for Cavity Prevention
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth—areas most vulnerable to plaque, food particles, and bacteria.
Sealants help smooth out the deep grooves where toothbrush bristles can’t always reach.
What they do:
- Seal out bacteria and food
- Prevent cavities in molars and premolars
- Offer extra protection during the cavity-prone years
- Last up to 5–10 years with good care
Why Patients Choose Dental Sealants
Preventive, Painless, and Proven to Work
We often recommend sealants when permanent molars first erupt—usually around ages 6 and 12.
Parents love sealants because they:
- Protect kids’ teeth during their most cavity-prone years
- Are fast, safe, and easy to apply
- Reduce the need for future fillings
- Work even on early signs of decay
