Cavities are no fun! When your little one has one, it can harm their oral health and leave them with a toothache. Prevention is key to preserving a healthy smile. That’s why we recommend dental sealants to protect your child’s teeth from cavities.
Dental Sealants are the easiest way to protect your child’s teeth from cavities. They are applied to teeth with deep crevices to protect against bacteria. Without the protection, bacteria go to hard-to-reach crevices and heighten your little one’s risk for cavities. Bacteria thrive in deep grooves because it’s harder to clean these areas properly. Paired with good oral health habits and routine trips to the dentist, dental sealants shield against pesky bacteria and keep your little one’s teeth strong and healthy!
Dental sealants can prevent 80% of all cavities and tooth decay.
The cost of treatment shouldn’t keep your child from getting the filling they need. We keep care affordable so your little one can have a happy, healthy smile.

No. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces only. Daily brushing, flossing and regular cleanings still protect the sides of teeth and the gums.
