The pits and grooves of your teeth are prime areas for opportunistic decay. Even regular brushing sometimes misses some of these intricate structures on the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
Enter sealants, which are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces designed to prevent the intrusion of bacteria and other debris into the deep crevices on the tops of your teeth.
Sealants actually were developed about 50 years ago, but didn't become commonly used until the 1970s. Today, sealants are becoming widely popular and effective; young children are great candidates for preventative measures like sealants because in many cases, decay has not set in. Even on teeth where decay is present, sealants have been shown to fight additional damage.
Sealants are applied by first cleaning the tooth surface. The procedure is followed by etching the tooth with an abrasive substance, which allows the sealant to better adhere. After the sealant is applied, a warm light source is directed to the site to promote faster drying. Sealants usually need re-application every five to 10 years.

Dr Khan explained every step, paid close attention to my pain. Explained post op care at least twice. Then called me that evening to check on me. Since this was the day before Christmas eve, he made himself available over the holiday if there were any issues. Looks like I found a new dentist! Outstanding!
Dr Khan! The best dentist that I have ever worked with. His attention to details is unmatched. Very experienced and knowledgeable and truly cares for his patients.
First Impressions are Lasting ! From the Hygienists to the Dr. Khan , the Assessment, teeth cleaning & debridement ! GIRL YOU BAD ! Lol 😆 , the Plan & Consultation !I am In Family !!
Today, I visited Dr. Khan's office in El Campo, and I was very pleased with the treatment I received from start to finish. Both dentists were incredibly friendly and approachable. They provided detailed explanations about the procedure and the next steps during and after the examination. I’m looking forward to my follow-up appointment in 15 days.
Dr. Khan was so great with our kids. He really connects with them first, and then visits about oral hygiene in a humorous way they can understand.
Fast and friendly service!
Extremely detailed which is precisely what you want in a dentist!
