Sealants

Applying sealants is a fast, easy process that can be accomplished without any anesthesia or sedation. Before the sealants are applied, we will clean and polished your teeth to prevent plaque, tartar, and bacteria from being sealed into the tooth. Next, the tooth will be gently etched where the sealant will be placed, then rinsed and dried. Once the tooth is prepped, Dr. Ideus will brush on the dental sealant and use a special light for about 30 seconds to set the sealant. Dr. Ideus will monitor that there is full coverage on the teeth and that the sealant is hardened before the patient leaves the office.
