Long-lasting support for your child’s dental health.
Even with good brushing, the grooves on back teeth can be tough to clean – especially for kids. At Dental Care Group in Toronto, we use dental sealants to help protect these hard-to-reach areas from decay. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They act like a shield, keeping out food and bacteria. This safe, quick treatment can make a big difference in your child’s smile for years to come.
Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood health issues, but it’s largely preventable. Molars have deep pits and grooves that can trap plaque and food, even with regular brushing. Sealants help by smoothing these areas and blocking out decay-causing bacteria.
According to the Canadian Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sealants can reduce the risk of cavities in molars by up to 80%. That means fewer fillings, less discomfort, and better long-term oral health.
The process is quick, comfortable, and doesn’t require any freezing or drilling:
We start by gently cleaning the surface of the molar or premolar.
A special solution is applied to help the sealant bond to the tooth.
We paint the tooth-coloured liquid sealant onto the tooth surface.
A curing light hardens the sealant so it sticks securely in place.
The entire procedure takes just a few minutes per tooth – and your child can eat and drink right away.
Preventing cavities in childhood helps set the foundation for lifelong oral and general health. Untreated tooth decay can lead to pain, infection, difficulty eating, and even missed school days. By protecting vulnerable areas early with sealants, you reduce the need for future dental work and help your child build confidence in their smile.
Good oral health supports better nutrition, speech development, and overall well-being – and sealants are a simple but powerful step in that direction.
Sealants are most commonly recommended for:
Sealants may also benefit adults who have deep grooves, though they are most often used in pediatric preventive care.
Sealants are a great tool, but brushing and healthy habits are still important. Here’s how to help your child keep their smile strong:
Sealants typically last several years but are checked at every visit to ensure they stay in place.

I’ve been very pleased with the staff and treatments since moving to Dental Care Group a few years ago. Recently, I was particularly impressed by Dr. Kaur and her assistant Menchi during treatments for a new crown. Both were so incredibly reassuring and supportive of me as a very nervous patient, and the final result was fabulous! Definitely recommend this team.
