As an Adult, Should You Get Dental Sealants, Too?


Posted on 9/30/2016 by Jonathan Gantz
A woman receiving a dental sealant.Many adults take their kids to the dentist to have sealants put on their teeth. Sealants protect the child's teeth and make it more difficult to develop cavities. But what about adults? Have you ever considered getting a dental sealant?

What Is A Sealant

Simply put, a dental sealant is a material with plastic components that is placed over your teeth to seal them and protect them from decay. The idea is that, no matter how well you brush, your teeth have many pits and grooves where material can and will collect. Once this material begins to decay, you have a higher chance of developing cavities. Sealants help protect against this.

Are Dental Sealants Appropriate For Adults

Although we usually apply them in the mouths of children and teens, there is no reason why a dental sealant is not a good option for an adult, too! Your teeth don't magically stop being susceptible to decay once you become an adult, so getting them sealed is a good option for everyone.

The down side to sealants include the up-front cost, but the initial investment more than pays off by providing enhanced protection against decay and other problems down the road. Of course, because they include plastic material, sealants are not permanent and will need to be occasionally re-applied, but this really is only necessary every 8-10 years.
