Sealants & Fluoride Treatment
Protective treatments that shield your child's teeth from cavities with quick, painless applications.
Dental sealants and fluoride treatments are two of the most effective preventive measures available to protect your children's teeth from cavities and decay.
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities most commonly form. By sealing the grooves and pits of molars, sealants create a barrier that prevents food particles and bacteria from settling in.
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria. The application is quick and painless, and studies show a significant reduction in cavity risk for children who receive regular fluoride treatments.
We recommend sealants for children as soon as their permanent molars appear, typically around age six. Combined with regular brushing and dental checkups, sealants and fluoride form a powerful defense against childhood cavities.
