Dental Sealants: Extra Protection for Cavity Prone Grooves

Sealants are thin, tooth colored coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to block food and bacteria from collecting in deep pits and grooves.

Who benefits most

• Kids and teens when permanent molars erupt
• Patients with deep grooves or a higher cavity risk
• Adults with a history of decay on molars

Fast and gentle placement

1. Clean the surface
2. Prepare enamel for a strong bond
3. Brush on the sealant
4. Light cure in seconds

No shots. No drilling. We check sealants at each cleaning and can repair or reapply if needed. Learn more about how sealants help from the American Dental Association.

Fluoride Treatment: Stronger Enamel in Minutes

Professional fluoride strengthens enamel so it resists acids from food and bacteria. We often use a quick setting varnish that is easy for children and adults.

Good candidates

• Children and teens with developing teeth
• Patients with frequent cavities or dry mouth
• People in orthodontic treatment who need extra protection

Fluoride is safe when used as directed and has decades of supportive research. See an overview from the CDC.

FAQs: Sealants and Fluoride in Garland

Do sealants replace brushing and flossing

No. Sealants protect grooves on chewing surfaces. You still need daily brushing and flossing to clean between teeth and along the gumline.

How long do sealants last

Several years with normal chewing. We check them at cleanings and can repair or reapply quickly when needed.

How soon can my child eat after fluoride varnish

Soft foods are fine after a few hours. Avoid very hot liquids until the varnish has set fully. Brush the next morning unless we advise otherwise.

Can adults get fluoride treatments

Yes. Adults with a higher cavity risk, dry mouth, or exposed roots benefit from periodic professional fluoride.

Are these services covered by insurance

Many Medicaid and PPO plans cover sealants for children and fluoride for children and adults. We verify benefits and explain any out of pocket costs before treatment. See our insurance information for details.
