Children's Dental Sealants

Preventing Child Tooth Decay – the Easy Way!

Dental sealants offset a child's inability to brush properly. Even though they try hard, they're still learning, and their hand-to-eye coordination isn't fully developed. It's possible, even with meticulous brushing, that the deep grooves in the back of their teeth may not be thoroughly cleaned. These hard-to-reach spots, while brushing, trouble even adults. This results in bacteria, acid, and plaque formation, which will later lead to decay. And once the tooth has decay, it is damaged permanently and will need a filling or a crown.
A dental sealant procedure involves the following:
  • The tooth (or teeth) is cleaned and sterilized.
  • A thin, white or clear plastic coating is painted into place.
  • A curing light is directed at the sealant to bond it to their teeth.
  • In minutes, without shots or drills, the entire process is done.
  • It's totally harmless.
Applying dental sealants is one of the best things both children and adolescents can do to prevent damage and preserve their natural teeth!
