Protecting Little Ones From Teeth Decay
Dental sealants offer an amazing solution to protect the teeth of children from cavities. Sealants work like a shield, keeping all the food and bacteria away from all the vulnerable chewing spots around their back teeth.
What Are Sealants for Children?
Sealants are thin layers of protective coating on the molars and premolars of the children. The molars and premolars are the teeth that are mostly associated with grinding and chewing food and they reside at the back side of the mouth.
These groups of teeth have tiny pits and grooves where food and bacteria often get stuck and eventually start forming cavities. Dental sealants offer a smooth surface so that it is easier for children to keep them clean and safe.
This is How They Work!
- Cleaning: The entire inside of the child's mouth will be cleaned thoroughly to remove food particles and plaque.
- Conditioning: A mild solution is applied to the tooth surface to help the sealant stick. This is pain-free.
- Sealant Application: The sealant material is painted upon the chewing surfaces of the teeth, especially the premolars and the molars, filling in the grooves.
- Curing: The dentist uses a special light is used to harden the sealant quickly.
