Quick, Painless Dental Sealant for Lasting Protection.
A sealant is similar to a plastic filling, but numbing is usually unnecessary because tooth enamel does not have nerves. The process of sealing a tooth involves examining it for decay and removing any if found. Then, a solution is applied to improve the adherence of the sealing material to the tooth surface. Finally, the sealant is painted onto the tooth and cured with a special light. That's all there is to it!
