A dental sealant is a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where toothbrush bristles struggle to reach. It acts as a barrier that keeps food and bacteria out of the deep grooves responsible for most childhood cavities.
At Pure Snow Dental Clinic in Gudu, Abuja we apply sealants as part of preventive care for children and, where it is useful, for adults too.
Sealants are most effective on newly erupted molars — typically around age six and again around twelve — which is why we check for them at routine children’s appointments.
Application is quick and does not hurt. The tooth is cleaned and dried, the sealant is painted into the grooves and set with a curing light. There is no drilling and no anaesthetic.
Sealants are checked and topped up at routine visits, and a well-maintained sealant lasts several years. They complement fluoride and good brushing rather than replacing them.
To ask whether sealants suit your child, call +234 816 410 9745.
