We're on a mission to see that our patients require the least amount of dental treatment necessary. Children who develop healthy dental hygiene and schedule routine cleanings early contribute to this goal and prevent tooth decay.
Some patients are more prone to tooth decay. This can be due to diet, lifestyle, or simply genetics. Dental sealants protect those with more susceptible teeth and reduce the number of cavities children may develop as they grow.
Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry can help your child prevent future fillings, cavities and other dental procedures with dental sealant services.
Dental sealants are thin, tooth colored material placed on top of back teeth such as molars and premolars. Sealants form a protective barrier against food and bacteria, preventing both from entering and infiltrating the tooth. Properly applied sealants can last up to 10 years, providing long lasting protection.
Since tooth decay can begin in early childhood, it's highly recommended that children get sealants on their adult teeth as soon as they come in, as young as six years of age, and before decay can attack the teeth. Pairing sealants with well rounded dental habits ensures the quality of your child's oral health long term.
The benefits of dental sealants include:
