Dental Sealants at Dakota Dental in Apple Valley, MN: Protecting Your Smile for Years to Come
Dental sealants are a simple, painless, and effective way to protect your teeth from cavities and decay. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars, creating a barrier that shields enamel from harmful bacteria and food particles.

Benefits of Dental Sealants

- Painless and Quick Application: The process is non-invasive, requiring no drilling or anesthesia.
- Cost-Effective: Preventing cavities with sealants can help you avoid costly dental treatments in the future.

How Are Dental Sealants Applied?
- Cleaning the Tooth Surface: The dentist thoroughly cleans the teeth to remove any plaque or debris.
- Preparing the Tooth: A special gel is applied to help the sealant bond to the tooth surface.
- Applying the Sealant: The liquid sealant is carefully painted onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
- Curing the Sealant: A special curing light hardens the sealant, forming a strong, protective shield.
