Protecting your child’s teeth while they’re still young is vital to their overall oral health as they grow older!
Children are usually more prone to cavities and decay than adults, in part because they may not be brushing properly despite their best efforts. That’s why dental sealants are an effective and affordable option for children to prevent decay as their primary teeth begin to emerge.
Particularly effective on the back teeth, which are often neglected or missed by our toothbrushes, the sealants are a thin coating applied to the teeth that last for several years. The coated teeth are ‘sealed,’ protected from food and bacteria, and have a lower chance for decay to form. Keep in mind, however, that there is absolutely no replacement for regular brushing and flossing!
