Sealants are only visible upon very close inspection of the tooth itself; however, they are applied with white or clear material, so will not be visible to others while speaking, smiling, or chewing. How long will my dental sealants last?
Sealants last between 5-10 years, but your dentist will evaluate your sealants upon routine teeth-cleaning visits to determine if they need to be touched up or replaced. Sealants rarely pop out, but on the occasion that they do, the sealants should be re-applied. In closing, sealants are an important part of a preventative dentistry program. Sealants should be combined with brushing at least twice a day with a toothpaste containing fluoride, flossing regularly, and making good decisions about food consumption. Should you wish to schedule an appointment to have sealants applied to your molars, please contact our offices at 713.795.5905.
