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.
What else can I help you with?
Can you eat after getting tooth sealants?
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.

Is sealant flammable?
Typically, most sealants are not flammable once they have dried and cured. However, some sealants may contain flammable components in their liquid form, so it's important to check the product's safety data sheet for specific information. It's always recommended to handle sealants in a well-ventilated area away from any potential ignition sources.
Can sealants be applied after a fluoride treatment?
In Short, YES. However, placing a sealant requires conditioning a tooth with a mild acid - often called "acid etching". A tooth that has just received a Fluoride treatment may sometimes require a longer etching time in order to allow the sealant to "bond" to the tooth. Also, this tooth will need to be rinsed off prior to bonding the sealant in place.....Thereby washing away some of the fluoride that was just placed. It is usually best to place a sealant at least 30 minutes after a fluoride treatment. In my practice, if we plan to place a sealant the same day as a cleaning and fluoride we have the hygienist clean and polish, then do any sealants needed and then fluoride. Please note that most dentists will replace a sealant that has come off for no additional charge if needed at the next checkup if within 6 months. Albert Internoscia, DMD, FAGD www.familydental.com
