Dental Sealants: Extra Protection for Cavity-Free Smiles
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.

How We Apply Sealants (And Why They’re Safe)
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.

How to Care for Dental Sealants
Sealants can last up to 10 years with good oral hygiene and regular checkups. Encourage your child to brush twice a day, avoid biting hard foods like ice or candy, and keep up with dental cleanings.
During checkups, we’ll check the sealants for wear and reapply if needed — helping your child stay protected with minimal effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
We want you to feel comfortable, informed, and confident before your visit. Here are answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask.
Is fluoride safe for children?
Yes, fluoride is safe and highly effective in strengthening enamel and preventing tooth decay when used appropriately. During visits, we provide professional fluoride treatments and guide you on the right amount to use at home.
What can I do at home to prevent dental problems?
Daily brushing and flossing, limiting sugary snacks and drinks, and drinking plenty of water are key. We’ll also give you personalized tips based on your child’s unique needs.
Are x-rays part of preventative care?
Yes, dental x-rays help us see what’s happening beneath the surface—like in between teeth or below the gumline. We use low-dose, pediatric-safe x-rays only when necessary to monitor growth and detect hidden problems.
How can I help my child build good dental habits?
Start early, make brushing fun, and lead by example. We’ll also reinforce positive habits at each visit and offer kid-friendly tools to help your child stay on track.
Do you offer guidance on nutrition and oral health?
Absolutely! Nutrition plays a big role in dental health. We provide age-appropriate guidance on foods that support strong teeth and gums—and which ones to limit.
