PROTECTIVE SEALANTS

PROTECTIVE SEALANTS

With the sealants, we can prevent early cavities on the chewing surfaces of the newly erupted teeth

Child and Dental Sealants

Dental sealant is a thin coating painted on the chewing surfaces of back teeth usually the premolars and molars. Deep pits and fissures of back teeth trap plaque and food particles causing cavities. The sealant quickly bonds into the depressions and grooves of the teeth( the most caries vulnerable areas)   forming a protective barrier over the enamel by “sealing out” plaque and food.

  • Dental sealants for a child are designed to protect your child’s teeth for a minimum of 3-5 years.
  • dental sealants are a simple way to set your child up for success and prevent small problems from becoming big ones.
