The Importance Of
Dental Sealants
At Cusumano and Stuver, we understand that protecting your permanent teeth from tooth decay is a top priority, which is why our experienced team is dedicated to providing expert sealant application to keep your teeth healthy and free from cavities. Dental sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth to prevent cavities. We recommend dental sealants when your teeth become prone to decay, most often your back teeth, as they act like a protective shield, blocking food particles and bacteria from settling into the deep grooves of molars and premolars. By covering these hard-to-clean areas, sealants effectively reduce the risk of cavities.
The Cusumano and Stuver
Approach to Dental Sealants
Our team takes a meticulous approach to applying dental sealants for maximum effectiveness:
1
Thorough Cleaning
Before applying the sealant, we thoroughly clean the tooth surface to remove any debris.
2
Tooth Preparation
We prepare the tooth by applying an acidic solution that roughens the surface, allowing the sealant to bond securely.
3
Sealant Application
The sealant, a liquid resin, is carefully applied to the prepared tooth and spreads across its surface, filling in the pits and grooves.
4
Curing and Evaluation
Using a special curing light, we harden the sealant so that it bonds firmly to the tooth. The result is a durable, invisible shield that protects to prevent decay.

Maintaining dental sealants requires regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene. During your routine check-ups, our team will inspect the sealants to make sure they remain intact and effective. If needed, we can reapply or repair the sealant to maintain its protective benefits.
The Importance Of
Early Protection
Preventative care is essential for long-term oral health. Dental sealants offer an additional layer of defense against dental decay, particularly for those most susceptible to developing cavities.
