Dental Sealants in Rowlett, TX

Cavities are one of the most common dental problems, but also one of the most preventable. At Dalrock Dental Care, we offer dental sealants to help protect vulnerable teeth—especially in children—from decay. This quick, painless treatment adds an extra layer of protection to keep your smile healthier, longer.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth are more prone to cavities because of their deep grooves and pits. Sealants block food and bacteria from settling in those hard-to-brush areas—preventing decay before it starts.
  • Applied in Minutes – Each tooth is cleaned, dried, and coated with a liquid sealant that hardens in seconds.

  • Zero Discomfort – No numbing, no drilling, and no downtime—just simple protection.

  • Long-Term Benefit – Sealants can last for years with regular checkups and good oral hygiene.

This is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to prevent cavities—especially in kids and teens.

Why Dental Sealants Are a Smart Choice

Sealants don’t replace brushing or flossing—but they do give teeth an extra line of defense. For patients at higher risk of decay, they’re a highly effective preventive step.
  • Help Prevent Cavities – Seal out food, bacteria, and plaque from molar grooves.

  • Save on Dental Costs – Avoid fillings, crowns, and more extensive treatment later on.

  • Especially Great for Kids – Perfect for newly erupted molars in children and teens.

  • Clear or Tooth-Colored – Sealants blend in naturally and are virtually invisible when applied.

Prevention is the best treatment—and sealants are a great place to start.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Sealants?

Sealants are most often applied to kids’ permanent molars—but they can help protect patients of almost any age with cavity-prone teeth.
  • Children with newly erupted molars (ages 6–14)

  • Teens at higher risk for decay

  • Adults with deep grooves or early signs of enamel wear

  • Patients who want extra protection between visits

If you or your child has never had sealants, we’re happy to check and make a recommendation.

When Should You Get Dental Sealants?

  • As Soon as Molars Erupt – This is usually around age 6 for the first molars, and age 12 for second molars.

  • At Your Child’s Checkup – We can often apply sealants during the same visit as a dental cleaning.

  • Before Decay Starts – Sealants are designed for healthy teeth—once decay begins, it’s too late.

Getting sealants at the right time helps preserve natural teeth and avoid future treatment.
