Fluoride-Free Sealants
Fluoride-free protection for cavity-prone molars
Molars do a lot of work, and they are also some of the hardest teeth to keep clean. Their deep grooves can trap food and bacteria in places a toothbrush cannot always reach.
Fluoride-free sealants help protect the deep grooves of molars, where cavities often begin. They are especially useful for children when permanent molars first come in, but some adults can benefit too.
When Sealants Make the Biggest Difference
Sealants are especially helpful when molars first come in, but they can also protect healthy adult teeth with deep grooves that are hard to keep clean.
For Children
Around age 6 and age 12
We typically recommend sealants when the first and second molars come in. The goal is to protect these new teeth early, when they are especially vulnerable to cavities.
For Adults
When deep grooves raise the risk
It is not too late to protect a healthy tooth. For adults with deep pits or fissures that are hard to clean, sealants can help reduce the risk of future decay and fillings.
Why We Choose Fluoride-Free Sealants
We believe in keeping dentistry as clean and biocompatible as possible.
We believe preventive care should be both effective and simple. That is why we use fluoride-free, BPA-free sealants that protect cavity-prone grooves without adding unnecessary ingredients.
They create the same physical barrier over deep pits and fissures, helping reduce the risk of decay while staying aligned with our biocompatible approach to care.
HOW IT WORKS
A Quick, Comfortable Process
Clean & Dry
We thoroughly clean the tooth to remove plaque and food particles, then dry the surface completely.
Seal
We place the fluoride-free, BPA-free resin into the deep grooves of the chewing surface, where a toothbrush cannot always reach.
Harden
A curing light hardens the material in seconds. Your child can eat and drink normally right after the appointment.
What to Expect
No Drilling
We do not remove any tooth structure
No Shots
There is absolutely no need for shots
Fast
The process takes just minutes per tooth

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose fluoride-free sealants?
Many parents prefer to limit their child’s systemic fluoride intake. By using a biocompatible, fluoride-free resin, we provide a purely physical barrier against bacteria without introducing additional chemicals into the body.
How long do sealants stay on?
Sealants are designed to withstand the heavy forces of chewing and typically last several years. We check them during every cleaning to ensure they are intact, and we can touch them up as needed.
Can adults get sealants?
Yes. While they are most common in children, adults with deep grooves or “fissured” teeth can benefit greatly from sealants to reduce the risk of decay.
