“Do I need anesthesia when I get my sealants?”
I'm having sealants put in and am wondering if I will need anesthesia for the procedure?

There is, in most instances, no need for drilling to apply sealants. For this reason, it is not a painful procedure and no anesthesia is required. Hope this helps.
It is generally not necessary to recommend anesthetic during the application of sealants as it is usually just a topical or brushed on and cured component of a restoration as a protective measure and does not involve pain
