Dental sealants are a way to lock cavity-causing ingredients away from teeth and prevent plaque from forming.
When plaque hardens on teeth, it becomes tartar, which puts your child at risk for tooth decay.
We always recommend dental sealants to children who are prone to cavities.
Other necessary cavity prevention steps for kids include:
- Seeing our children’s dentist in St. Cloud every six months for dental checkups
- Excellent oral hygiene between dental checkups
- Adopting a diet low in sugar and acidity
How Dental Sealants in St. Cloud, FL, Work
We apply dental sealants to the chewing surfaces of teeth, where food particles collect. The sealant is set with a dental light and prevents tooth decay. At your child’s six-month checkup, the dentist evaluates the integrity of the sealant to ensure it is still intact. We can touch up the sealant as needed to keep the smile safe!
The dental sealant is invisible. No one will know your child has this added layer of tooth protection, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing your child’s teeth are safe from decay.
