Fillings typically last 5 to 15 years, while sealants can protect teeth for a child’s 10 years with proper care. Regular dental visits, good oral hygiene and avoiding hard foods help extend their lifespan.

01.
Process of Dental Fillings
Getting a dental filling is a simple, supportive process designed to relieve discomfort and restore your tooth’s health. After numbing the area, the dentist gently removes the decayed portion of the tooth. The space is then thoroughly cleaned and filled with a tooth-colored composite resin or other suitable material. The filling is shaped and polished to match your natural tooth.
02.
Process of Dental Sealants
Getting a dental sealant is a quick, painless process designed to protect your child’s teeth from decay. After cleaning and drying the tooth, a special gel is applied to prepare the surface. The gel is rinsed off, and the sealant—a thin, protective coating—is painted on and hardened with a curing light.
