Frequently Asked Questions
How much do dental sealants cost in Bharuch?
Dental sealants at Little Angels cost ₹500–₹800 per tooth. A full set (4 molars) typically costs ₹2,000–₹3,000 — cheaper than one filling.
At what age should my child get dental sealants?
As soon as the permanent 6-year molars come in (around ages 6–7), and again for the 12-year molars. Sealing the deep grooves stops food and bacteria from getting stuck.
Are dental sealants worth it?
Yes — sealants prevent up to 80% of cavities in the treated tooth. Read our detailed guide on whether sealants are worth it for kids.
Is sealant application painful?
Not at all — no drilling, no injection. The tooth is cleaned, a gel is applied for 15 seconds, rinsed, then the sealant is painted on and set with a blue light. Takes 5 minutes per tooth.
How long do dental sealants last?
5–10 years typically. We check them at every 6-month visit and touch up any wear at no extra charge.
Can adults get dental sealants?
Yes — adults with deep-grooved molars can benefit too, though they're most cost-effective in children right after new molars erupt.
Sealants or fluoride — which is better?
Both are complementary. Sealants physically cover deep grooves; fluoride strengthens enamel across all teeth. Most kids benefit from both.
Are sealants safe for my child?
Yes — modern sealants are BPA-conscious and completely safe. The amount of any monomer released is far below any toxicity threshold.
