Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and front teeth. These teeth have recesses and pits where food particles and bacteria are easily trapped, which can lead to decay. Sealants act as a protective barrier that fills these recesses, preventing decay.

1. Prevent Cavities: By keeping food and plaque out, sealants significantly reduce the risk of cavities, especially in children who are more prone to tooth decay.
2. Non-invasive: Sealing is quick, painless and does not require drilling or removal of the tooth structure.
3. Long Term Protection: Sealants provide long-term protection that lasts for years with proper oral hygiene.

1. Children: Sealants are most useful when permanent molars erupt (around 6 and 12 years of age).
2. Adults: Adults with deep recesses or a history of decay can also benefit from sealants.

At Ninova Clinic, our experienced dentists use high quality materials to ensure your sealants last as long as possible. We offer sealants as part of our comprehensive preventive care programme for both children and adults.
