What can you expect during a dental sealant treatment?
A sealant is like a tiny plastic filling, and typically does not need numbing since tooth enamel is not sensitive to pain.
We will start by thoroughly examining the tooth or teeth that need sealing. If any decay is found, it will be removed immediately. Next, we will use a solution to improve the sealant's adhesion to the tooth's surface. Finally, the sealant will be carefully applied to the tooth, with the possibility of using a special curing light. And that's all there is to it!
