Children may need supervision when brushing their teeth, to make sure they do a good job. But even with good habits, the grooves in the back teeth may be missed. As plaque forms and bacteria build up, decay will set in. Any amount of decay means permanent damage and requires a filling or a crown.
Is there a way to help prevent cavities from setting in? Yes! One quick and easy application of dental sealants will help. All the teeth are cleaned and sterilized. A thin coating is applied to the teeth. It is clear or white and not visible. To bond the sealant to each tooth, a curing light is applied. No shots or drills are necessary. All the natural tooth structure remains in place, and the sealant is one of the best preventive treatments for both children and adolescents. It will help them to keep their natural teeth for a lifetime.
