Children's Sealants
A protective coating applied to children's back teeth to guard against cavities during their most cavity-prone years.
A thin, tooth-safe coating painted into the deep grooves of a child’s back molars to create a barrier against bacteria and food particles that cause cavities.
The teeth are cleaned and dried, a liquid sealant is carefully painted into the grooves of the back molars, and a curing light hardens it into a smooth, protective barrier in just a few minutes.
Provides a reliable layer of protection against cavities in the most decay-prone teeth, reducing the likelihood of fillings during the critical childhood years.
