What Are Dental Sealants ?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars). The deep grooves and pits in these teeth are extremely difficult to clean — even with careful brushing — making them prime locations for cavity formation.

Sealants fill these grooves with a smooth, resin-based material that bacteria and food particles can't penetrate. The application is quick, painless, and requires no drilling or anesthesia. Studies show sealants reduce the risk of molar cavities by nearly 80%.

  • Applied to permanent molars shortly after eruption (ages 6–12)
  • Also beneficial for cavity-prone adults
  • Painless, no drilling required — applied in minutes
  • Clear or tooth-colored — barely noticeable
  • Lasts 5–10 years with regular monitoring
  • Highly cost-effective prevention vs. future cavity treatment

Sealant Questions

Common questions from expat families in Songdo about dental sealants.

At what age should my child get sealants?
Sealants are most beneficial when applied shortly after permanent molars erupt — typically the first molars around age 6 and second molars around age 12. Early application before any decay begins provides the greatest protective benefit.
Are sealants safe?
Yes — dental sealants have an excellent long-term safety record. They are BPA-free(or contain only trace amounts below any clinically relevant threshold). The ADA and WHO both endorse sealants as a safe, effective cavity prevention measure.
Can sealants be placed over early cavities?
Sealants can be placed over very early (non-cavitated) lesions to prevent progression. However, they should not be placed over established cavities — we'll check each tooth with X-rays before application to confirm suitability.
