Dental sealants

At The Kidds Place, we believe preventive care is the best care for your child's teeth. One way your child can avoid cavities and tooth decay is with a sealant.

This short procedure can help protect your child's teeth so they keep smiling longer.

How sealants help

What Are Sealants?

Dental sealants are invisible coatings placed over back teeth to prevent tooth decay and cavities. The plastic resin matches your child's tooth color.

How They Work

Sealants are like plastic gloves for teeth. Food may touch them, but molars are protected from bacteria and plaque.

Who Needs Them?

Sealants are a helpful extra layer of protection for molars, the teeth most prone to cavities because they are harder to brush thoroughly.

How Long They Last

With regular brushing and flossing, sealants can last several years before needing to be replaced.

How They Are Applied

Teeth are cleaned, an acidic gel helps the resin bond, and a blue light hardens the sealant. The procedure is simple, quick, and usually painless.

Care At Home

No extra care is needed. Children should continue brushing twice daily and flossing daily.
