Sealants

What is a sealant?

A dental sealant is a thin plastic film painted on the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars (the teeth directly in front of the molars). Sealants have been shown to be highly effective in the prevention of cavities.

How long will sealants last?

A sealant can last for as long as 5 to 10 years. Sealants should be checked at your regular dental appointment and can be reapplied if they are no longer in place.

Will sealants replace fluoride for cavity protection?

No. Fluorides, such as those used in toothpaste, mouth rinse, and community water supplies also help to prevent decay, but in a different way. Sealants keep germs and food particles out of the grooves by covering them with a safe plastic coating. Sealants and fluorides work together to prevent tooth decay.

Why is sealing a tooth better than waiting for decay and filling the cavity?

Decay damages teeth permanently. Sealants protect them. Sealants can save time, money, and the discomfort sometimes associated with dental fillings. Fillings are not permanent. Each time a tooth is filled, more drilling is done and the tooth becomes a little weaker.

Very friendly staff, Natalya and Adriana at the front, Juliana, Jen and Dr Hung at the back… they’re all so kind and great professionals! My teeth look great, clean and smooth!

I have extreme anxiety when it comes to the dentist, and my previous dentist no longer takes my insurance…. As a result it’s been a few years since I’ve had a cleaning. From the start, tulip dental was easy to work with - scheduling my appointment and finding a time that would work with my busy work schedule. During the cleaning, I was shown extreme compassion and understanding with my level of anxiety. With areas of heightened sensitivity, I was given options / alternatives so that I could decide how to proceed within my comfort level. This was positively the best dental experience I’ve had. On top of that, I don’t think I’ve ever had a higher quality cleaning. I would recommend tulip 10/10 to anyone looking for high quality dentistry in a compassionate environment!

Had my first appointment with Dr. Hung as a new patient. It was a great experience. The staff are friendly, professional and very informative letting you know what is going on before it happens. Darien was my hygienist and had the best tools in mouth etiquette I have ever experienced at the dentist. My exam was thorough, painless and my questions and concerns were listened to and answered. Dr Hung was friendly and conversational, not just there to poke around your mouth but actually make a connection as well. I for sure made the right choice when picking my new dentist. All smiles here :)
