DENTAL SEALANTS

Proper brushing and flossing help remove food particles and plaque from the surfaces of your child’s teeth, but they can’t always reach into the small pits and depressions on the chewing surfaces of their back teeth, enabling food particles and plaque to build up there. In these cases, we can provide a thorough cleaning and then apply a dental sealant that will bond into these depressions to help prevent a cavity from developing.

This problem often begins early in life, so children and teenagers are especially good candidates for dental sealants.

And remember, dental sealants, like most of our other services, are covered by Medicaid, ALL Kids and most dental insurance.
