New York Seoul Dental Clinic — Dr. Kim MinJi (New York-trained, English-friendly)

Simple Protection Against Cavities

Deep grooves on back teeth trap food and bacteria, leading to decay. Dental sealants create a smooth, protective barrier over those grooves to make teeth easier to clean. At New York Seoul Dental Clinic, Dr. Kim MinJi, D.D.S., M.A. (U.S. & Korea-licensed) provides quick, painless sealant treatments with clear, English-friendly guidance for children, teens, and cavity-prone adults.

Who Benefits from Sealants?

  • Kids & Teens: Newly erupted permanent molars with deep pits and fissures.
  • College Students & Busy Professionals: Snacking habits that increase risk.
  • Adults with High Risk: History of cavities, deep grooves, or orthodontic brackets.
  • Patients with Limited Dexterity: Extra protection where brushing is difficult.

What Teeth Are Sealed?

  • First and second permanent molars (most common)
  • Selected premolars with deep grooves
  • Case-by-case on primary molars for high-risk children

Your Sealant Appointment

1) Clean & Prepare

Tooth surface is cleaned and isolated to stay dry.

2) Etch & Rinse

A gentle gel microscopically roughens enamel so sealant bonds securely.

3) Sealant Placement

Liquid resin flows into grooves and pits.

4) Light-Curing

A special light hardens the material within seconds.

5) Check & Polish

We confirm bite comfort and smooth edges—ready to eat right away.

Aftercare & Longevity

  • You can eat immediately; avoid very sticky foods for the first day.
  • Brush and floss normally; sealants do not replace good hygiene.
  • We check sealants at each cleaning—touch-ups are easy if wear occurs.
  • With proper care, sealants commonly last 3–5+ years (often longer).

FAQs

Do sealants feel bulky?

No—once cured and polished, they feel smooth and natural.

Are they visible?

Sealants are typically clear or tooth-colored and barely noticeable.

If I already have small cavities, can I still get sealants?

We treat active decay first. Sealants protect sound grooves from future decay.

Do adults really need sealants?

Many adults at higher risk benefit—especially with deep grooves, orthodontic appliances, or frequent snacking.
