Prevent Cavities with Dental Sealants in Toronto

Shield your child’s back teeth with protective dental sealants that help stop cavities before they start.

4 Quick Benefits of Dental Sealants

Reduces risk of decay in molars and premolars.

Fast and painless application in just minutes.

Value

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.

Why Dental Sealants Matter

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.

What to Expect at Dental Care Group

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.

Link Between Oral & Overall Health

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.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Sealants

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.

At-Home Tips Between Visits

Sealants are a great toolbut brushing and healthy habits are still important. Here’s how to help your child keep their smile strong: 

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss once a day to clean between teeth
  • Limit sugary snacks and drinks
  • Encourage drinking water, especially after meals
  • Visit Dental Care Group every 6 months for cleanings and exams

Sealants typically last several years but are checked at every visit to ensure they stay in place.
