Dental sealants are a great way to protect your teeth and maintain good dental health. At our family dentist in Waxhaw NC, dental sealants are used to help protect teeth from cavities by creating a barrier between bacteria-laden plaque and your natural tooth enamel.

Your back teeth, or molars, often have many small grooves and indents on their surfaces that trap food particles. These particles can stick there for a long time because your toothbrush can’t completely remove them. Getting dental sealants is a gentle procedure that proactively protects the outer layer of your teeth, and prevents cavities in children.

Who Benefits from Dental Sealants:

  • Children and teenagers – As soon as the six-year molars (the first permanent back teeth) appear or any time throughout the cavity prone years of 6-16
  • Adults – Tooth surfaces without decay that have deep grooves or depressions.
  • Baby teeth – Occasionally done if teeth have deep grooves or depressions and child is cavity prone.

The dental sealant application can be completed in just one visit at our Waxhaw, NC office, often during professional teeth cleaning in Waxhaw NC. After the teeth are cleaned, your dentist prepares the surface using a soft conditioning gel. A protective resin is then applied and hardened with a special light, creating a durable, painless seal.

    Dental Sealants FAQ

    How long do dental sealants last?
    Dental sealants have shown to last in children till their adult years depending on their diet and sticky foods. Though, they can fall off due to eating sticky foods or break from hard foods and they should be examined regularly during your normal dental appointment.
    What are dental sealants used for?
    The purpose of sealants is to help seal and protect teeth against decay, which is why they’re particularly useful for young children. While sealants are no substitute for an active oral health care regimen that includes frequent brushing, flossing, and rinsing, they do add a second line of defense for children who are still in the early stages of forming healthy habits.

    "My sister had a filling come out of her tooth and we called Waxsaw Dental and they got her in the next morning. Since the Doctor she had gone to for years had retired, she was scheduled with Dr Marshall Earnest and his assistant Jenna. They were both very kind and professional. They explained all of the options clearly and were able to fix the tooth the same day. Since I wasn't the one being worked on, I was able to watch the procedure. They worked together seamlessly with such skill and calmness. It was very impressive and I would certainly recommend them."

    "The staff was professional and thorough. Nothing unexpected and the team was pleasant as well. A bit frustrated that I couldn’t do the consultation and cleaning at the same visit but I understand if I had a lot of stuff going on they would have had to take care of that first. As it was the staff there was able to schedule me an appointment that worked with my schedule to get my cleaning done very quickly."

    "I was bumped due to a Hygienist calling in sick. I waited 4 weeks for call back to reschedule.. Never heard back, so I had to call and make my own short notice cleaning appointment. I received new a hygienist and new DDS. The cleaning was a little rough but it was thorough. Customer service for client retention needs work."

    "Dr. Earnest and his assistant Jenna worked seamlessly to complete my dental work in a timely and efficient manner. The hygienist, Nicole, got me checked in and brought back on time so that I was able to get started with my treatment right away and was not late for work. I was comfortable from start to finish and was impressed with the experience as I have not had pleasant dental treatment in the past. I would highly recommend Dr. Earnest for any procedure as he had been reassuring and confident throughout. Thank you to Waxhaw Dental Center providing exceedingly excellent service yet again."
