Dental Sealants in Regina
A Fast, Effective Way To Prevent Cavities In Back Teeth
Dental sealants help protect the chewing surfaces of molars — especially in kids and teens — but adults can benefit too.
Even the best brushers can miss a spot. Back teeth are full of tiny grooves and pits that make them extra tricky to clean. That’s where sealants come in.
A sealant is a thin, protective coating painted onto the chewing surface of a tooth. It works like a shield, keeping out food and bacteria that can lead to cavities. Quick, painless, and effective — it’s one of the easiest ways to prevent future problems.
Who Should Consider Sealants
Sealants are most common in children and teens, especially once permanent molars come in. But they’re a smart choice for anyone with deep grooves in their back teeth or a history of cavities.
They can also be helpful for patients with limited dexterity, orthodontic appliances, or other challenges that make thorough brushing more difficult.
You might benefit from sealants if you:
Have back teeth with deep grooves or pits
Are prone to cavities
Have children whose permanent molars have recently erupted
Want extra protection without an invasive procedure
We’ll always assess first — and let you know if sealants make sense for your smile.
What To Expect
Getting a sealant is quick and totally non-invasive. There are no needles, no drilling, and no pain. We clean the tooth, apply a special gel to help the material stick, rinse and dry, then brush on the sealant. A curing light helps it harden in seconds.
The entire process usually takes just a few minutes per tooth.
How Long Do Sealants Last?
With proper care, sealants can last several years. We’ll check them at each routine visit and reapply if needed. In the meantime, they quietly do their job — offering extra protection against decay every day.
Why It’s Worth It
Sealants are one of the most effective — and affordable — preventive tools in dentistry. They help lower the risk of cavities in the areas most likely to be affected and can save you time, money, and stress down the road.
