Dental Sealants for Children: Painless Protection for Molars

Did you know that the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars) are where most cavities in children develop? These teeth have deep grooves and pits where toothbrush bristles simply cannot reach, making them a trap for food and bacteria.

The Sealant Solution
A dental sealant is a thin, protective coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Once dried, it fills in the deep grooves, acting as a physical barrier that keeps food and plaque out.

The Application Process:
Getting sealants at Novo Care is quick and entirely painless—no drilling or numbing is required. We clean the tooth, apply a gel to help the sealant bond, paint on the coating, and use a special light to harden it. Sealants can last for several years and provide immediate protection as soon as your child leaves our clinic in Addis Ababa located around 22 Lem Hotel.
