Tooth sealent fell out?!
Question: Help me! Today I had a tooth sealent put in two molars at the top and one at the bottom. The whole process went well, and when I got home I think it fell out. I brushed my teeth about 7 hours later, and a white part from the top molar is missing. Does the tooth sealent gradually became clear? Or does it stay white and mine fell out? I really need to know its bugging me. Thank you.

A sealant stays the same color once it is cured so your will not become clear. I doubt that any of the sealant has come out but the only way to tell is to call your doc, tell them what happened and ask for a quick check. This shouldn't cost you anything.
i don't think the color changes but i've had one fall off and 6 months later when i went to the dentist that was my tooth with a cavity so if you have any concerns, go back to your dentist
Sealants can be clear(invisible) or white (it will stand out on the tooth). If they put an invisible, only a dental professional will be able to tell while looking in your mouth with adequate light. If it was white, you will probably be able to tell if it is still there.
