Protect Your Child’s Teeth With Dental Sealants

Sealants are an important part of oral health and cavity prevention for children. They can help protect their teeth from cavities and decay and make brushing easier. At Bird Pediatric Dentistry in Charlotte, we offer a variety of sealants to meet your child’s needs.

What are sealants?

Sealants are thin, transparent plastic coatings applied directly to the chewing surfaces of the permanent molars. They act as a barrier against food particles and bacteria that can cause cavities and decay. Sealant application is a quick and straightforward process that usually takes less than a minute per tooth.

How are sealants applied?

The procedure is straightforward and painless. The tooth is cleaned, and the sealant material is applied to the tooth’s surface. The sealant then hardens, creating a protective barrier against harmful bacteria and plaque.

What are the benefits of sealants?

Sealants can help children avoid cavities and tooth decay by providing a protective layer on their teeth. Sealants can make brushing more accessible and more effective by preventing plaque buildup. By getting your child’s teeth sealed, you can help them have healthier mouths!
