At ConfiDENT in Cumming, we consider it an honor to care for the growing smiles of your children. Understanding the serious impact of tooth decay in pediatric patients, we are committed to taking every measure to protect young teeth from harm. Among the exceptional dental treatments we offer for kids, dental sealants stand out. This easy, painless, and cost-effective procedure serves as a proactive step in shielding cavity-prone teeth and preserving your child’s oral health.

The Power of Dental Sealants

Tooth decay often begins when food debris and plaque accumulate on hard-to-reach surfaces, primarily affecting the back molars of pediatric patients. Dental sealants provide an additional layer of protection on the chewing surfaces of these back teeth, preventing tooth damage such as dental caries or decay. While sealants are highly effective, we emphasize the importance of educating children on making smart dietary choices and maintaining strong dental hygiene practices to further prevent cavities.

Affordable and Efficient Teeth Sealing

Teeth sealing is not only affordable but can be completed in just a few minutes without the need for anesthetics. The process involves gently applying a thin plastic material to coat the surfaces of the back teeth. Subsequently, a special curing light is used to harden the sealant material, providing superior strength and protection. In just minutes, your child’s teeth are equipped to “seal out” harmful bacteria and sugars that commonly attack young teeth.

Protect Your Child from Cavities

Our dentists typically recommend sealants at specific stages of dental development or for children who experience frequent cavities. In some cases, teeth sealing can be beneficial for adults too! If you’re wondering whether your child could benefit from sealants, don’t hesitate to contact our office today. Contact ConfiDENT in Cumming today!
