Dental Sealants for Pediatric Patients
Our youngest patients receive the same attention and concern as their adult counterparts. We recommend that you bring your children in around age three so that they can become comfortable with visiting the dentist. When children learn the importance of good oral hygiene at a young age, their journey to lifelong dental health is more likely to be successful. Dr. Persky suggests fluoride treatments and dental sealants for children to prevent tooth decay and premature tooth loss.
Dental sealants are thin layers of plastic that fill in the grooves on back teeth. Because children have a harder time reaching these areas in their mouths, the molars are prone to cavities. The dental sealants create a physical barrier for food and cavity-causing bacteria, which prevents tooth decay from developing. With proper home care, your children's dental sealants can last up to ten years.
