Before you book
What happens in the chair
The tooth is cleaned and dried, then the sealant is painted into its grooves and set with a blue light. There is no drilling and no numbing.
Who it suits
Children, soon after their adult back teeth come through, and adults whose grooves are deep enough to catch food.
Afterwards
Eat and drink as usual straight away. A sealant wears slowly, and it is checked at every check-up.
