Did you know that tooth decay is one of the most common childhood epidemics? Thankfully, we offer pediatric dental sealants in Fort Worth, Texas. These thin, protective coatings act as armor for your child’s teeth, guarding against cavities and decay.
The Basics of Dental Sealants
Pediatric dental sealants are a simple yet powerful solution to prevent cavities in the hard-to-reach molars and premolars. These teeth, with their uneven surfaces and tiny grooves, are prime targets for lurking bacteria. Sealants act like a shield, filling in these crevices and creating a smooth surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
The Process
Applying dental sealants is a breeze. Your child will not need needles or drills. Our dentists will clean the teeth, apply a special gel and then paint on the sealant. After a quick set with a curing light, your child’s teeth are fortified against harmful bacteria and tooth decay.
Investing in Long-Term Oral Health
Think of dental sealants as an investment in your child’s future. They provide protection during cavity-prone years, typically between ages 6 and 14. By preventing decay early on, you are not just safeguarding their smile but also setting the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health habits.
