Dental Sealants – Protecting Children’s Molars
Dental sealants are one of the most effective pediatric dentistry treatments for preventing cavities in children’s permanent molars. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth where decay commonly occurs.
Benefits of Pediatric Dental Sealants:
- 80% reduction in cavities on treated teeth
- Quick and painless application process
- Long-lasting protection for up to 10 years
- Cost-effective prevention compared to treating cavities
- No anesthesia required for placement
Fluoride Treatments for Growing Smiles
Professional fluoride treatments are a cornerstone of preventive pediatric dentistry. Our fluoride applications provide extra protection for children’s developing teeth.
Our Fluoride Treatment Process:
- Flavored gels in bubblegum, cherry, or mint flavors
- Quick application taking just 2-3 minutes
- Quarterly treatments for high-cavity-risk children
- Safe and effective for all ages starting at 6 months
- Insurance covered under most pediatric dental plans
Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rel=”nofollow” shows that fluoride treatments can reduce tooth decay in children by 20-40%.
