Sealants have been shown to be highly effective in the prevention of cavities. They were developed through dental research in the 1950s and first became available commercially in the early 1970s.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e403-18 mb7-0 mb7-3 mb7-7 mb7-8\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e403-19 mb7-d mb7-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e403-20 mb7-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e403-21 mb7-i mb7-k\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">How effective are sealants?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e403-22 mb7-p mb7-q\">Scientific studies have proven that properly applied sealants are highly effective in protecting the tooth surfaces from caries. Because sealants act as a physical barrier to decay, protection is determined by the sealants ability to adhere to the tooth. As long as the sealant remains intact, small food particles and bacteria that cause cavities cannot penetrate through or around a sealant. In fact, research has shown that sealants actually stop cavities when placed on top of a slightly decayed tooth by sealing off the supply of nutrients to the bacteria that causes a cavity. Sealant protection is reduced or lost when part or all of the bond between the tooth and sealant is broken.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e403-23 mb7-0 mb7-3 mb7-7 mb7-9\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e403-24 mb7-d mb7-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e403-25 mb7-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e403-26 mb7-i mb7-k\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">How are sealants applied?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e403-27 mb7-p mb7-q\">Sealant application involves cleaning the surface of the tooth and rinsing the surface to remove all traces of the cleaning agent. An etching solution or gel is applied to the enamel surface of the tooth, including the pits and grooves. After 15 seconds, the solution is thoroughly rinsed away with water. After the site is dried, the sealant material is applied and allowed to harden by using a special curing light. Other sealants are applied and allowed to harden much the same way nail polish is applied to fingernails. Sealant treatment is painless and could take anywhere from five to 45 minutes to apply, depending on how many teeth need to be sealed. Sealants must be applied properly for good retention.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e403-28 mb7-0 mb7-3 mb7-7 mb7-8\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e403-29 mb7-d mb7-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e403-30 mb7-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e403-31 mb7-i mb7-k\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">How long will a sealant last?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e403-32 mb7-p mb7-q\">Sealants should last five years but can last as long as 10 years. One study reported that seven years after application, an impressive 49 percent of treated teeth were still completely covered. Sealants should not be considered permanent. Regular dental check-ups are necessary to monitor the sealants\u2019 bond to the tooth.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e403-33 mb7-0 mb7-3 mb7-7 mb7-9\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e403-34 mb7-d mb7-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e403-35 mb7-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e403-36 mb7-i mb7-k\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Who should receive sealant treatment?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e403-37 mb7-p mb7-q\">Children, because they have newly erupted, permanent teeth, receive the greatest benefit from sealants. The chewing surfaces of a child\u2019s teeth are most susceptible to cavities and the least benefited by fluoride. Surveys show that approximately two-thirds of all cavities occur in the narrow pits and grooves of a child\u2019s newly erupted teeth because food particles and bacteria cannot be cleaned out. Other patients also can benefit from sealant placement, such as those who have existing pits and grooves susceptible to decay. Research has shown that almost everybody has a 95 percent chance of eventually experiencing cavities in the pits and grooves of their teeth.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section
