Sealants: Extra Protection for Growing Smiles

Sealants are a simple and effective way to help protect your child’s teeth from cavities. They are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth—where most cavities in children tend to form.

The process is quick, painless, and requires no drilling or numbing. Once painted on, the sealant forms a smooth shield over the natural grooves of the teeth, keeping out food and bacteria. This extra layer of protection can make a big difference in keeping your child’s smile healthy for years to come.
