What are Dental Fillings & Sealants?

Dental fillings and sealants are restorative and preventive treatments used to protect and repair teeth. Fillings restore the structure of decayed or damaged teeth, while sealants provide a protective barrier against decay, especially in the grooves of back teeth.

Why are Dental Fillings & Sealants Needed?

Dental Fillings are essential to repair cavities caused by tooth decay, prevent further decay, and restore the tooth’s normal function and shape.
Dental Sealants act as a protective layer, shielding the tooth’s enamel from bacteria and food particles that could lead to cavities. Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and teens, helping to prevent decay in vulnerable areas.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Fillings or Sealants

For Fillings:

- Tooth pain or sensitivity, especially when consuming hot, cold, or sweet foods.
- Visible holes or dark spots on the teeth.
- Rough, chipped, or worn tooth edges.

For Sealants:

- - Deep grooves or pits in the back teeth, increasing cavity risk.
  - Signs of early decay or frequent cavity formation

Treatment Process

Dental Fillings: The dentist first removes the decayed area, cleans the space, and then fills it with a suitable material, like composite resin or amalgam, to restore the tooth’s integrity.
Dental Sealants: The tooth surface is cleaned, dried, and an acidic solution is applied to make the surface rougher for bonding. The sealant is then painted onto the grooves of the tooth and hardened with a special light.
