What materials are used to do dental sealants?
Dental sealants are typically made from a resin-based material, which can include composites or glass ionomer. These materials are designed to bond to the tooth surface, providing a protective barrier against decay. Composite sealants offer durability and aesthetic appeal, while glass ionomer sealants release fluoride, which can further protect teeth. Both types are safe and effective for preventing cavities in children and adults.

Who discovered dental sealants?
I think you mean sealants to prevent cavities right? When I was about 13 my dentist put them on a few of my back teeth (the deeper ones which he thought were prone to cavities). I am 27 now and have a cavity in most back teeth except for the ones that have the sealants on - would highly recommend for a child - not expensive and they have lasted forever. Dental sealants have been in common use for over 30 years, and they have been improved over the years. It is known that the most likely place for a child to get a cavity is in the small pits and grooves in their back teeth. That is because these small pits and grooves are extremely difficult and sometimes impossible to keep clean. A dental sealant is a plastic coating that fills in the pits and grooves before a cavity occurs without removing any tooth structure as is done when a traditional filling is placed.While not 100% effective in preventing cavities, sealants can significantly reduce the risk of getting cavities on the back teeth, especially if the child visits their dentist frequently (twice a year) to have worn out or missing sealants replaced.A sealant must be placed before a cavity appears in the tooth. Once a cavity is diagnosed by the dentist, a traditional filling must be placed.
When will the feeling go away after getting sealants on a tooth?
After getting dental sealants, any initial sensitivity or unusual feeling in the treated teeth typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, but if the sensation persists or worsens beyond this timeframe, it's advisable to consult your dentist for further evaluation. Overall, sealants are designed to be a comfortable and effective preventive measure for tooth decay.
