Protect Your Child From Cavities With Teeth Sealants
Sealants are made from a thin acrylic material that is painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. A special curing light is used to harden the sealant for the best protection possible. Once the sealants are applied, the treated teeth now have a barrier to “seal out” bacteria, food debris, and plaque from attacking the tooth surface.
The sealant procedure is quick and painless. Most teeth sealants last for several years before cracking and can be replaced in a simple procedure.

How Can I Help My Child Prevent Cavities?
While sealants protect your child’s teeth against cavities, our dental team also takes opportunities to educate kids on how they can maintain a healthy smile between visits. We show your child how cavities form and instruct them on oral hygiene and eating habits so that they can participate in their own oral health.
