Dental Sealants in Brunswick, OH
Extra Cavity Protection for Kids and Teens
Dental sealants create a protective layer over back teeth, helping to block out food and bacteria before cavities can form. At Hendricks Family Dentistry, we offer fast, effective sealant applications for long-term prevention.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars — areas that are hardest to keep clean. They're especially helpful for:
- Children just getting their permanent molars
- Teens prone to decay in hard-to-brush grooves
- Patients with deep pits or fissures on their back teeth
How We Apply Sealants
- Clean the Tooth: We start with a gentle cleaning to remove debris
- Prepare the Surface: A mild gel helps the sealant bond
- Sealant Application: The coating is brushed on and hardened with a curing light
- Final Check: We ensure it’s smooth and fully sealed
The entire process is quick, painless, and requires no numbing.
Benefits of Sealants
- Added protection for cavity-prone back teeth
- Long-lasting results with minimal upkeep
- Fast, non-invasive treatment
- A smart supplement to daily brushing and professional cleanings
Ongoing Prevention Matters
We recommend checking sealants during every exam and refreshing them if needed. For additional protection, consider fluoride treatments as part of your child’s regular preventive care.

Answer text goes here
Are sealants just for kids?
They’re most common for children and teens but can benefit adults with deep grooves or higher cavity risk.
Will sealants be visible?
No — they’re clear or white and placed on molars, so they don’t show when you smile.
How long do they last?
Sealants can last several years and are monitored at routine checkups.
Do sealants replace brushing?
No — they’re an added layer of protection, not a substitute for brushing and flossing.
