Yes. When the sealants are placed in the grooves of your teeth, they are light-cured. Meaning, they harden with the use of a UV light. I would say wait 20-30 minutes, but that's just being extra conservative. You can eat right away.
Sealants are highly recommended for patients aged 6-16 (6 years old is when the 1st permanent tooth erupts into the mouth). I would expand this recommendation to any patient that is at high-risk for developing caries.
NOTE: Although sealants are an excellent preventative tool. They are not as wear-resistant as composite or amalgam (filling material), so they tend to wear sooner. It is not uncommon to have them replaced definitely within the first two years, but maybe even within the 1st year, depending on the individual.

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.

Why is tooth sealant only for children?
Sealants are placed on children's permanent back teeth soon after they come into the mouth because they are most at risk for decay at that time. Once a cavity has occurred in a tooth, it must be filled. It cannot be sealed. Also a tooth that has been filled cannot be sealed. If a person reaches adulthood without getting a cavity in a particular tooth, the likelihood of getting one is substantially reduced, and the benefit of sealing the tooth is very minimal. Adults can have their teeth sealed, but the expense far outweighs the benefit.
What is the Retention of pit and fissure sealants is a result of?
The retention of pit and fissure sealants is primarily influenced by proper isolation and cleaning of the tooth surface before application. Ensuring the sealant material fully adapts to the tooth structure and is adequately polymerized also contributes to its retention. Routine monitoring and maintenance of the sealant over time can help prolong its effectiveness.

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.
Is it common to get a cavity after dental sealants have been applied?
A sealant was done on a tooth of mine and not 2 years later did a first cavity apear. Although sealants help protect for the future, they will not always work. Its deffinitly a good idea to have it done but like condoms theres always that 6% chance that it will escape.AnswerIt is possible that the sealant fell off the tooth. There is no guarantee that a sealant will stay in place, especially if you eat hard foods (like hard candy or corn nuts) and the typical life span for sealants, even whey they are correctly placed by trained professionals, is about 6 years. Then there is the idea of taking proper care of your mouth at home and taking control of your diet and watching the types of junk you put into your mouth. How often did/do you brush? do you do it correctly? Do you use dental floss? Correctly? Please don't be so ready to complain to a dentist about getting a cavity if you are partly to blame by not following recommendations or not taking responsibility. Do you blame a tire manufacturer for a blowout after you drive over broken class and nails? It's the same thing. There are no guarantees given by dentists. If yours did, he/she made a major mistake. AnswerIt is not very common to have cavities after dental sealants have been put on teeth, unless the diet and hygiene are very bad. Put in mind that dental sealants only last about 5 years, and should be redone.AnswerI got sealants put on about 4 years ago and that dentist said I never had a cavity. I just went to another dentist and it seems once the sealants wear off a little you start getting tons of cavities (19 in my case). In order to stop those new cavities from the sealants you must get more sealants put in. Seems that when you have more sealants put on your teeth they prevent the cavities the old sealants caused. I would have been better off never having the sealants, before I only got one cavity every year or two... Now 19 in one year.
