What we offer for kids
Sealants are used on children's permanent teeth to prevent decay and are only recommended when necessary. A dental sealant is a plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars). Grooves in these teeth are so narrow that a toothbrush cannot fit into the spaces to remove plaque; dental sealants prevent the decay from getting into the grooves.
What are sealants?
What are the benefits of fluoride application?
Fluoride application is a great way to prevent tooth decay for children and should be done routinely, generally with their 6-month checkup. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by making the tooth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth. It has also been shown that it can reverse early decay called demineralization.
