Drs. Robinson, Robinson, and Wolfgramm advise children with permanent teeth to receive dental sealants in Provo, Utah. Dental sealants provide a long-lasting barrier between the grooves of the teeth and harmful bacteria. Our family dentists and team love to see kids in our office, and we invite you to schedule appointments for your children by contacting Robinson Wolfgramm Dental today.

​

A sealant is a preventive dental treatment that our dentist may recommend to protect patients’ teeth from decay. A dental sealant is made of a clear or tooth-colored resin material, which is painted onto the chewing surface of teeth. By blocking out the bacteria and food debris that lead to tooth decay, the sealant prevents decay and cavities. The dental sealant forms a smooth coating over the natural pits and grooves of the tooth surface, which also makes it easier to effectively clean teeth with normal brushing.

​

Dental sealants are most often recommended for children. Our dentist frequently recommends sealants for the permanent molars as soon as they come in, usually between the ages of 6 and 12 years. We may also recommend dental sealants for adult patients whose teeth are prone to decay or have not been restored or suffered from decay in the past. We can apply dental sealants in just one short, comfortable visit to our practice.
