Children are prone to cavities but dental sealant can help prevent them. At All Coast Dental, our doctors use dental sealant – a thin coating that is painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth to protect against decay. Though brushing and flossing remove leftover food particles, it may not always be easy for your child to do a thorough job. Sealants are usually applied as a preventive measure to keep the mouth cavity free.
Brushing and flossing may remove plaque from the teeth, but sometimes extra measures need to be taken. Dental sealants add extra protection to vulnerable areas of the teeth that are prone to decay. When bacteria become trapped in these areas, cavities will develop. Dental sealant is a safe and effective way to stop them in their tracks. Don’t hesitate to ask about dental sealants during your child’s next checkup.
