Sealants Built for Adults With Deep Grooves and a Cavity History
Most sealant pages are written for parents. This one is written for adults: at your exam, the dentist looks at each back tooth and recommends sealing the ones at risk. See the ADA’s guide to sealants.
Deep pits and grooves
Grooves deep enough to trap plaque are the main reason to seal a tooth.
A history of cavities
Teeth at risk of decay get an extra layer of protection.
Healthy enamel
A sealant protects a sound groove; a cavity is filled first.
Sugary drinks
Sugary drinks reach into every groove and hard-to-clean spot.

Why the chewing surface is a cavity magnet
Back teeth have pits and grooves that are hard to clean, so they decay more easily. A sealant fills them and leaves a smooth surface behind.
Plaque and bacteria settle deep in the grooves, out of reach of toothbrush bristles, and sugary drinks seep into the same spots.

How sealants go on, step by step
It’s quick and comfortable.
- 1
Clean & dry
Step 1
The tooth is cleaned and dried so the sealant can bond to the enamel.
- 2
Prepare
Step 2
An acidic solution lightly roughens the chewing surface so the sealant grips.
- 3
Apply
Step 3
The resin is painted into the pits and grooves.
- 4
Harden
Step 4
A special light cures it into a smooth, protective barrier.
Keep your checkups. Sealants are checked at every visit, and a chipped or worn one is repaired or replaced.

FAQ
Dental sealants in Lawrenceville, NJ: your questions, answered
You see the cost before anything is done; it depends on how many teeth are sealed. Membership plans and 0% financing through Cherry are available, and many patients qualify for 0% interest plans if paid on time.
Plans differ on which teeth they cover, so we work with your insurance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit and you know what you owe before anything is done. We accept PPO plans and most carriers, including CIGNA, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental and GEHA Connection Dental. No Medicaid, DMO or HMO plans accepted.
The main one is upkeep: a sealant can chip or wear, faster if you grind, so it’s checked at every visit and repaired or replaced when needed. It covers only the chewing surface, so brushing, flossing and cleanings still protect the rest of the tooth.
Neither. The tooth is cleaned, lightly roughened, painted and hardened with a light, so there’s nothing to numb, and you can eat right afterward. For other treatment, Dr. Godko offers nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation, and gives IV sedation himself.
Yes, they can go on during that same checkup. Ask at the visit, and the dentist tells you which back teeth would benefit and what it costs before anything is done.
Yes. The Lawrenceville, NJ office is open Wednesday 9:30 am–7 pm and Thursday 9 am–7 pm, and Saturday 9 am–2 pm. Book online or call (609) 400-1393 or (609) 303-2005.
Without traffic, about 14 minutes from Hamilton Square, NJ and about 19 minutes from Yardville, NJ, both by I-295, and about 19 minutes from Plainsboro, NJ by Route 1 and I-295.
It’s not an emergency. Mention it when you call or at your next visit: sealants are checked every time, and a chipped, worn or lost one is repaired or replaced.
Any BPA exposure from a sealant is extremely low and brief, far less than from everyday sources. Ask at your visit and the team explains the material used.
In the right case, yes. A sealant over a very early, non-cavitated spot can keep it from progressing. A true cavity is filled instead.
