Sealants are a thin, insulating layer (generally made from plastic resin) that sticks to the chewing surface of your child’s back teeth and smoothen them out. By sealing fissures in your child’s teeth, sealants reduce the chances of your child experiencing oral health issues such as cavities, root canal therapy or dental implant procedures.
Although brushing and flossing are important ways to help prevent cavities, it is not always possible for your child to adequately clean all those tiny spaces between the teeth— specifically the back molars that are used to chew and can become a hiding spot for leftover food.
Why your child may need sealants:
- Sealants help stop early stages of decay from turning into aggressive cavities
- You can save money in the long term as your child is less likely to require more costly treatments
- They reduce pain and sensitivity
Sealants are a proactive solution that gives your child a healthier smile. Contact our team today to give your child a healthier smile.
