What to Expect During Your Dental Sealant Procedure at Our Office
A sealant is similar to a tiny plastic filling, and numbing is usually unnecessary because tooth enamel does not have nerves.
- Initially, the tooth or teeth that need sealing will be examined. If any decay is detected, it will be eliminated.
- Subsequently, a solution will be administered to enhance the bonding of the sealing material to the tooth's surface.
- Lastly, the sealant will be meticulously applied to the tooth and hardened using a specialized light. And that's all there is to the process!
