Protect Your Child From Cavities With Teeth Sealants
Teeth sealants can provide significant benefits for your child’s dental health. Dental sealants are thin plastic material that is typically painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. A special curing light is used to harden the sealants for maximum protection. 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, non-invasive, and does not cause discomfort for your child. Most teeth sealants last for several years before a reapplication is necessary.

How Can I Help My Child Prevent Cavities?
While dental sealants are an excellent weapon against cavities, our dental team also takes opportunities to educate kids on other ways that they can keep their teeth healthy and strong. We discuss how cavities form and instruct kids on oral hygiene and eating habits so that they are better equipped to care for their smiles when they leave our office.
