Dental sealants are a thin, translucent coating that is applied to the surface of your child\u2019s teeth. Sealants smooth out any pits and make it easier to maintain good dental hygiene. They are totally safe and perfect for children with sensitive teeth. Here at the Dr Toothfairy pediatric dental office in Falls Church, VA, we highly recommend dental sealants for our young patients. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of dental sealants and how they can help keep your child\u2019s smile healthy and bright!<\/p>\n
Dental sealants provide a barrier between the tooth enamel and bacteria, plaque, and acids that can cause cavities. They are especially important for kids because their teeth are more susceptible to cavities due to the fact that their tooth enamel is not yet fully developed. Dental sealants can also help protect kids\u2019 teeth from staining and discoloration.<\/p>\n
The process of applying dental sealants is quick and easy. First, we clean your child\u2019s teeth and then roughen up the chewing surfaces with a special etching solution. This helps the sealant adhere to the tooth. Next, we dry the teeth and apply the sealant material to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (the molars). The sealant material hardens quickly and forms a protective barrier on your child\u2019s teeth.<\/p>\n
Dental sealants are an important part of keeping your child\u2019s smile healthy!
