Simple Protection for Long-Lasting Smiles

Even with great brushing and flossing, some teeth — especially back molars — can be hard to keep clean. That’s where sealants come in.

A dental sealant is a thin, clear coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your teeth. It acts as a protective barrier that seals out plaque, bacteria, and food particles that cause cavities.

At pulp&dentin, we provide fluoride treatments and sealants as part of our preventive care for families across Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Anderson Village, Wrigleyville, and North Center.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Sealants?

Sealants are most common for children, but they’re great for anyone who wants extra protection against decay. Dr. Renieris may recommend sealants if you or your child:

Have deep grooves or pits in the molars
Are prone to cavities
Have newly erupted permanent teeth
Prefer a preventive approach over fillings

Sealants can last for years and may be easily reapplied during your routine dental exams and cleanings.

What to Expect During Your Sealant Appointment

Getting dental sealants is quick, painless, and requires no numbing or drilling. Here’s how it works:

Cleaning and Drying – The tooth surface is cleaned and prepared.
Sealant Application – A thin, tooth-colored coating is gently painted on.
Curing – A special light hardens the sealant in seconds.
Final Check – Dr. Renieris ensures a smooth, comfortable fit.

Once sealed, your teeth are better protected from bacteria and buildup — helping prevent cavities before they start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dental sealants just for kids?

No. While sealants are great for children, many adults also benefit from the added protection they provide.

How long do sealants last?

Sealants can last several years with proper care. During your dental cleanings, we’ll check their condition and reapply if needed.

Do sealants hurt?

Not at all. The process is quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive.

Can sealants replace fluoride treatment?

Sealants and fluoride treatments work best together. Fluoride strengthens enamel, while sealants create a protective layer that blocks bacteria.

How soon can I eat after getting sealants?

You can eat right away — just avoid sticky or hard foods for the first few hours.
