Dental Sealant for Children

An Easy Preventive Treatment for Children and Adolescents

If bacteria are not cleaned off the surface of the teeth, it will lead to decay. Any size cavity is permanent damage and will need a restoration of a filling or crown. Often the bacteria in the grooves of back teeth are missed, and plaque will build up and eventually lead to decay. 

An excellent preventive treatment is one application of a dental sealant. After all teeth are cleaned and sterilized, one thin coating is applied to all the surfaces of teeth. It is transparent and invisible. To bond the sealant to teeth, the dentist uses a curing light. And that is the entire procedure that takes just minutes. No shots or drilling are necessary. It is quick, easy, and does much to prevent the onset of decay both for children and teens.
