Children's Dental Sealants

Preventing Child Tooth Decay – the Easy Way!

No matter what our age, doing an adequate job of brushing our teeth isn't always easy. Even with scrupulous brushing, we can miss the deep grooves in the back teeth. This allows bacteria, acid, and plaque to remain, which will trigger decay. And once the tooth has decay, it is compromised permanently and will require a filling or a crown.

The use of dental sealants can offset a child's challenges with brushing correctly, safeguarding their teeth from harm. The steps are harmless, painless, and take just a few minutes to complete. After the tooth (or teeth) is cleansed and sterilized, a thin layer of a white or clear plastic sealant is brushed on the tooth. Then a curing light is directed at the sealant to bond it into place. This simple technique requires no shots, drills, or the reduction of any tooth structure. Applying dental sealants is one of the best defensive actions both children and adolescents can have done to preserve their natural teeth!
