SEAL IT!

Sealants are a lot easier than I thought they would be. Don't forget your cotton rolls and triangles. :)

First, you have to clean the tooth.
[[ either A/P polisher or with a prophy angle]]

My patient was Kristen
[[She is adorable! Not to mention an amazing patient.]]

Anyway, after you clean the tooth, you just dry it and put the "blue goop" on the occlusal surface for 1 minute.

After, Suck it up with the high suction using the A/W syringe.
*Note: if you cover the tooth with the high suction before spraying water, it will help the patient not taste it.

Dry the tooth again, make sure it doesn't get wet at all
[[ which in the mouth, is kind of hard, but try your best]]

Add in the sealant and using a cure light, cure for 1 minute.

Overall, a very fast process, and I don't think it will be long until they become second nature.

*Bragging Time: I have NEVER done a sealant before and my very FIRST time, I did it perfect!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!!
