A Simple Step to Prevent Cavities Before They Start

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the grooves of the back teeth—where brushing doesn’t always reach. These molars are especially prone to decay, and sealants act as a barrier to block out plaque, bacteria, and food particles.


At Veenstra Family Dental, we offer sealants as a safe, painless way to help patients—especially children—avoid cavities and maintain strong, healthy smiles.

Why Sealants Matter

Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, molars can be difficult to keep clean—especially for younger patients. Sealants help prevent the most common type of childhood cavity by protecting the areas that need it most.


They’re also a smart, affordable way to reduce the need for future fillings and more extensive dental work.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Sealants?

Sealants are most commonly recommended for children and teens, usually as soon as their permanent molars come in (around age 6 and again around age 12). But adults with deep grooves or a history of decay can benefit too.

You may be a good candidate for sealants if you or your child:

  • Have deep pits or grooves in the chewing surfaces of molars
  • Have a higher risk of cavities
  • Want an extra layer of protection between visits
  • Struggle with brushing or flossing properly

How the Process Works

Getting sealants is quick, painless, and non-invasive:

  1. We clean and dry the tooth
  2. A safe bonding solution is applied
  3. The sealant is painted on and hardened with a curing light
  4. That’s it—no shots, no drills, no discomfort

Sealants can last several years and are often reapplied as part of your preventive care routine.

Keep Cavities Out of the Picture

A few minutes today can mean years of protection tomorrow. Ask us about dental sealants during your next cleaning, or schedule a visit to learn if they’re right for you or your child.

"I had some issues after having work done by another dentist and wanted a consultation to get a second opinion. Dr Rachel came up with a solution very quickly and the pain is gone. Staff are friendly and competent and the offices are bright and welcoming. After my long time dentist decided to no longer accept my insurance I have found my new dentist."
