The last thing anyone wants is a cavity. They can create infections throughout your body if not treated properly! Now the question is, how can we prevent them? Well parents, the issue has been solved; think sealants! It’s easy and safe, and we’ll take you through it step by step at ToothTown Pediatric Dentistry, a local children’s dentist in West Palm Beach!
Sealants; they pretty much are what they sound like! Sealants are a protective coating put on your child’s molars in order to prevent cavities. They create a barrier between the tooth and food, so your child can’t get a cavity while having them.
It’s like painting a clear coating on the tooth. Once it’s painted, our dental professional will cure it with a special light. Now it’s ready! The whole process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. It’s super quick and easy! Best of all, it’s safe and pain free!
That all depends on your child! Sealants are meant to last for many years, but if your child is crushing ice, eating sticky candy, etc. and has poor oral habits, the sealant can come off.
There you have it, parents! A relatively quick, easy solution to preventing cavities. As always, for more information, be sure to call us at (561) 333-4568, and visit your pediatric dentist in Wellington. We’ll talk to you next week!
