When a child’s first permanent molars erupt, usually at age 6, consider protecting them with dental sealants. A sealant is a thin plastic coating applied by your dentist to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. By filling in the teeth’s grooves, sealants create a barrier against food and bacteria that cause decay. They are very effective in preventing decay in the back teeth.

Did you know kids can benefit from more fluoride exposure?
Did you know kids can benefit from more fluoride exposure? Fluoride is a mineral that helps teeth become more resistant to decay (cavities). You can help prevent your child from getting cavities by making sure they drink fluoridated water and brush at least twice daily with fluoridated toothpaste. For many children, this daily fluoride exposure is enough to protect them from new cavities. Request an appointment with our dentists to know more about the benefits of fluoride exposure.
