Back teeth are the most likely place for cavities to develop in children. Sealants offer a simple and painless way to protect these chewing surfaces. We apply a thin, protective layer that seals out food and bacteria, reducing your child’s cavity risk by over 80%.

Sealants are especially helpful for kids who may not brush thoroughly yet or who have deep grooves in their molars. It’s a safe and proven way to help your child avoid fillings later on.

Applying sealants is fast, non-invasive, and completely pain-free. After gently cleaning the tooth surface, we apply a liquid resin that hardens in seconds. Your child can eat and drink normally right after their visit.

We understand that parents may have questions about ingredients like BPA. Research confirms that the tiny trace amounts used in some sealants are safe, and professional organizations like the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry continue to support their use. If you have questions, we’re happy to walk you through it.

Sealants can protect teeth for up to 10 years with regular checkups and good oral hygiene. Help your child brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and avoid sticky or hard foods like candy and ice that can damage sealants. Limit sugary snacks and drinks to lower the risk of cavities, even on sealed teeth.

During routine visits, we’ll check if the sealants are holding up and reapply if needed to keep your child’s smile healthy and strong. Sealants are quick, painless, and provide lasting protection—like a shield for those hard-to-reach molars. If you have any questions or it’s time for a checkup, we’re here to help.
