We strive to place your loved ones in the best opportunity to succeed. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists recommend the use of sealants on the grooves of teeth in order to help prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants help keep bacteria out of the pits and fissures of our teeth.
Sealants are a simple and effective way to protect your child’s teeth from decay. They are a plastic coating that is applied to the grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These areas are hard to clean and are more susceptible to decay, so sealants act as a barrier, preventing plaque and food from getting trapped in these areas. Sealants can last for several years and are a great way to protect your child’s teeth, especially as they are developing and learning to brush and floss properly.
