Prevent Cavities with Dental Sealants in Etobicoke

Long-Lasting Protection with Dental Sealants

At Fifth St Dental, we offer dental sealants as a fast, effective way to prevent cavities—especially in children and teens. This quick, painless procedure adds an extra layer of protection to keep hard-to-reach back teeth strong and healthy for years to come.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. These back teeth have deep grooves where food and bacteria can easily collect, making them more prone to cavities. Sealants create a smooth surface that acts as a barrier, making it easier to keep those teeth clean and cavity-free.

The Dental Sealant Process

At Fifth St Dental, we make applying dental sealants quick and comfortable. Whether during a regular check-up or a dedicated visit, the process is designed to be stress-free for children and parents alike.

01

Cleaning the Tooth Surface

The tooth is thoroughly cleaned and dried to remove any plaque or debris and prepare the surface for bonding.

02

Applying a Bonding Solution

A gentle etching gel is applied to the chewing surface for a few seconds, then rinsed and dried. This helps the sealant adhere properly.

03

Applying the Sealant

The sealant material is painted onto the tooth and carefully spread to cover all pits and grooves.

04

Curing and Finishing

A special curing light hardens the sealant in seconds. Once set, the bite is checked and the process is complete—no pain, no downtime.

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are especially beneficial for children and teens, but some adults may benefit too. Here’s who should consider them:

Kids usually get their first and second molars around ages 6 and 12. Sealing them early helps prevent decay during the cavity-prone years.

If your teen has deep pits or chewing surfaces that trap food, sealants can help protect against cavities.

If your child has a history of cavities, sealants offer added protection and peace of mind.

Even adults with healthy back teeth and deep grooves may benefit from sealants as a preventive measure.
