Prevent Cavities Before They Start

Dental sealants offer a simple yet highly effective way to protect your teeth from cavities — especially the deep grooves of molars and premolars that are hard to clean. At Civic Dental, Dr. Dunya Antwan provides dental sealants in Vista, CA, for both children and adults who are at risk of tooth decay. This quick, painless treatment acts as a barrier against food particles, plaque, and bacteria.

Sealants are most often recommended for children once their permanent back teeth erupt, but many adults can benefit as well. If you or your child are cavity-prone or want extra protection, sealants are a great investment in long-term oral health.

Dental sealants offer a simple yet highly effective way to protect your teeth from cavities.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Sealants are thin, protective coatings made of medical-grade resin. They are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth — areas most vulnerable to decay due to their deep pits and grooves.

The procedure is:

Fast — often completed in one visit
Non-invasive — no drilling or anesthesia required
Long-lasting — often effective for 5 to 10 years with proper care

We may recommend sealants during your regular Dental Exam & Cleaning, especially for children or teens with newly erupted molars.

Who Should Get Dental Sealants?

Sealants are especially beneficial for:

Children ages 6–14 with newly erupted permanent molars
Teens or adults with deep grooves in their teeth
Patients with a history of frequent cavities
Anyone looking for extra cavity protection without invasive procedures

Pairing sealants with Fluoride Treatment provides an added layer of defense against decay.

Caring for Your Smile After Sealants

After application, sealants start protecting teeth immediately. To ensure they last:

Maintain regular brushing and flossing habits
Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens
Schedule routine cleanings and exams with Dr. Antwan to monitor wear

If a sealant wears down or becomes damaged, we can easily reapply it during a future visit.
