Yes. Dental sealants have been used clinically for over fifty years and have an excellent safety record. The materials used in modern sealants — resin-based composites and glass ionomers — are well-studied and approved for dental use. Some older sealant formulations contained trace amounts of bisphenol A (BPA), a concern that has been raised periodically. Modern sealant materials are formulated to address this concern, and the consensus of major dental and health organizations is that the benefits of sealants in preventing decay substantially outweigh any theoretical risk from trace chemical exposure. Our team uses current-generation sealant materials and is happy to discuss any questions you have about the materials we use.
