Dental Sealants

If your child’s permanent molars are coming in or if your own teeth are prone to cavities, our dentists may recommend a sealant.

Dental sealants work to protect your teeth from harmful bacteria and food debris so that they can stay healthy, strong and cavity-free. Call David S. Ainsworth & Associates at 732-287-6611 to learn more about dental sealants in Edison, New Jersey, and to make an appointment with Dr. Ainsworth and associates.

A sealant is a preventive dental treatment that our dentists may recommend to protect patients’ teeth from decay.

A dental sealant is made of a clear or tooth-colored resin material, which is painted onto the chewing surface of teeth. By blocking out the bacteria and food debris that lead to tooth decay, the sealant prevents decay and cavities. The dental sealant forms a smooth coating over the natural pits and grooves of the tooth surface, which also makes it easier to effectively clean teeth with normal brushing.

Dental sealants are most often recommended for children.

They are frequently recommended for the permanent molars as soon as they come in, usually between the ages of 6 and 12 years. We may also recommend dental sealants for adult patients whose teeth are prone to decay or have not been restored or suffered from decay in the past. We can apply dental sealants in just one short, comfortable visit to our practice.


Sealants can be a powerful tool in preventing decay and keeping your smile healthy. To learn more about dental sealants and how our team can keep your smile in good health, we welcome you to call or visit our office today.
