Dental Sealants

Even the most diligent little brushers can benefit from some extra cavity protection. Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surface of the back teeth. They are a simple, non-invasive procedure that helps keep cavity-causing bacteria from hiding in the little nooks and crannies of molars. And they can be applied to both baby and permanent teeth, so even adults can benefit from this added layer of protection.

A Protective Shield Against Cavities

The biting surfaces of molars have many grooves and pits that can easily trap all kinds of gunk and food particles. These areas can be more challenging to reach when brushing, making them susceptible to tooth decay.

Sealants are a safe and effective alternative to help fight dental caries. They are made of a liquid resin from the same materials used for cavity fillings. Since they create a physical barrier between teeth and bacteria, dental sealants have been shown to protect against up to 80% of cavities.

Applying Sealants At Dr. Patty Miami

At Dr. Patty Miami, the process of applying dental sealants for kids is quick and simple. First, a dental hygienist will carefully clean your child’s molars. Once the teeth are prepared, the dentist will paint a layer of the sealant with a brush and dry it using a special curing light. The entire procedure takes anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes, depending on how many teeth need to be sealed.

Sealants Provide Long-Term Protection

When applied by skilled providers like the dentists at Dr. Patty Miami, dental sealants can provide protection for a decade or more. They lose strength over time, but your child’s dentist will check them at every visit and reapply once they’ve worn down too much.

Caring For Your Child’s Sealants

It’s important to remember that sealants don’t replace a daily oral health regimen. The most crucial step in taking care of your child’s teeth and sealants is practicing good dental hygiene every day

To ensure your child’s sealants last for years, encourage brushing twice a day for at least two minutes each time, flossing once daily, and using a fluoride toothpaste recommended by your Dr. Patty Miami dentist. Avoid eating foods that can damage the sealants, like popcorn kernels, hard candy, and ice.

Another vital step for ensuring the health of your little one’s grin is coming for routine checkups and cleanings every six months.
