The tooth will be cleaned and a gel applied to the chewing surface of the tooth and then washed off. After that, the sealant is painted on to the tooth. A bright curing light is used to help harden the sealant which takes approximately one minute.

Opting for sealants is a safe, painless and cost-effective method which can institute a line of defense against oral decay and bacteria. Sealants also can last a long time before needing reapplication.
