Have you been wondering if there’s anything you can do to keep your child’s smile healthy and beautiful? Of course, you know that brushing, flossing, and preventive care visits are key to a healthy grin for the entire family. However, as you watch your little one practice these essential habits (and get better and better at them each day), you may wish you could offer some measure similar to training wheels. Fortunately, dental sealants offer the benefits you’re looking for, so your child may establish an excellent dental hygiene routine without as much risk. Learn more!

Why Sealants?

We suggest dental sealants because they provide a very simple yet highly effective means of helping your child create wonderful habits, while enjoying some exceptional protection against tooth decay. Rather than hoping your child cleans every single little nook and cranny of teeth chewing surfaces with precision, sealants let your child practice and grow in this area. Here’s how:

• Sealants create a protective barrier over chewing surfaces
• Plaque cannot adhere to protected dental tissue when sealants are in place, nor can food particles become stuck, so successful brushing of these surfaces is easy to achieve

About Your Concerns

You may like the fact that dental sealants can offer such extraordinary protection for your child’s smile but you probably have some questions. We are happy to offer answers to FAQs with the following, so you feel confident in this treatment:

• You and your child won’t be able to see the sealants
• The sealants will last around 10 years, offering long-lasting protection against decay
• There is no need for removal as the sealants wear off on their own
• Receiving sealants is completely comfortable and quite quick
