Adult Dental Sealants, A Worthy Investment
Through preventative dentistry, your Chicago, Illinois, dentists can help keep your smile problem-free over the years. Our preventive dentistry services include routine exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. Dental sealants are thin, plastic coatings that our doctors can apply to the surfaces of your back teeth to protect them from cavities. At A Brush Above Family Dentistry, we offer dental sealants for adults, teens, and children in our local community.
What Do Sealants Do?
As your molars are used primarily for chewing, there’s a greater chance of food, bacteria, and plaque accumulating in the nooks and crevices of these teeth. Over time, plaque and bacteria buildup can lead to cavities. Dental sealants create a protective barrier over your back teeth to keep food and bacteria from gathering. In so doing, they give you an extra layer of protection against cavities.Â
Children can greatly benefit from the protection sealants provide as they’re not that proficient at brushing their teeth. However, our team also recommends sealants for adults and teens to keep their permanent teeth cavity-free.Â
Dental sealants can:
- Minimize your risk of decay, especially on back teeth
- Prevent the spread of decay to healthy teeth
- Counter the effects of wear and tear and aging on adult teeth
- Protect your molars from cavity-causing bacteria
- Preserve your oral health and smile
Sealants offer a quick, affordable, long-term means of protecting teeth from cavities.

 Can Adults Get Teeth Sealants?
Many adults are prone to decay due to poor lifestyle habits, deep grooves in their teeth, or genetics. If you fall in this category, it’s to your advantage to receive sealant treatment. Even if you’re not prone to dental decay, you can request sealant treatment as a proactive measure against the risk of cavities. Sealants can extend the lifespan of your teeth by keeping them strong and healthy.
