Stronger, Healthier Teeth—With Just One Quick Dental Visit
Even with good brushing and flossing, cavities still happen, especially in the back teeth. Why? Because molars have natural pits and grooves that are hard to clean, even with a toothbrush. That’s where dental sealants come in.
At Plum Dental, we provide dental sealants in Mississauga as a proven, painless way to help protect teeth—especially for kids, teens, and even adults. It’s fast. It’s safe. And it can reduce cavity risk by up to 80%, according to the American Dental Association.
Sealants are thin, protective coatings made from safe dental plastic. They’re applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars—right where most cavities start.
What do dental sealants do?
They act as a barrier, keeping food and bacteria out of tiny grooves that can cause decay. These grooves are too small for a toothbrush to clean properly.
By smoothing out those surfaces, sealants keep your teeth cleaner and more protected between visits.
Here’s why sealants are a great choice:
And yes, they’re completely non-toxic. The materials we use are safe and approved for use in children and adults.
The purpose of sealants is to prevent tooth decay before it starts. They’re most effective on permanent molars because those teeth are the most cavity-prone. According to the CDC, kids without sealants are almost 3 times more likely to have cavities than those with them. That’s a simple, safe way to avoid fillings, crowns, and more invasive procedures later.
Did you know 90% of cavities in kids happen in their molars? Sealants are especially important once those first permanent molars come in—usually around age 6.
At Plum Dental, we offer dental sealants for kids in Mississauga as part of our routine preventive care. Applying them early can help children avoid years of fillings and dental visits for problems that could’ve been prevented in the first place.
Sealants are especially recommended for kids who:
We make the process simple, gentle, and stress-free—so both you and your child feel at ease.
Dental sealants for adults in Mississauga can be just as valuable—especially for those with molars that are hard to clean or who want to avoid future dental procedures.
If you never got sealants as a kid—or if your previous ones have worn off—it’s not too late. Adults benefit from sealants for the same reasons: protecting enamel, sealing out bacteria, and preventing decay in vulnerable areas.
You may be a good candidate for adult sealants if:

No. Dental sealants are safe. They’ve been used since the 1960s and are supported by the ADA and CDC. Any trace materials like BPA are far below harmful levels.
Not at all. There’s no drilling or numbing needed. It’s a fast, gentle procedure.
The dental sealants are strong, but chewing on ice or hard foods can wear them down over time. On average, the dental sealant we apply in Mississauga lasts between 5 and 10 years.
Yes. Once the sealant is hardened with a curing light, you can eat normally—though it’s smart to avoid sticky or very hard foods for the first few hours.
