Sealants

Home » Kids Dentistry Prevention » Sealants

Permanent molars start to appear in children around age six. When this happens, you may notice that your child’s back teeth have deep grooves. These grooves and furrows tend to accumulate food debris. They may be hard to clean, making molars especially susceptible to tooth decay.

Our pediatric dentist may recommend applying a sealant to your child’s molars to prevent decay and cavities. Dental sealants are thin coatings that can protect a molar’s chewing surfaces.

A sealant procedure includes the following simple steps:

  • Cleaning the teeth to remove all germs and food particles
  • Prepping the chewing surface with a special gel
  • Drying the teeth and applying liquid dental sealant

The sealants will set within a few minutes, after which your child can eat and drink as usual. The clear or white material of the sealants makes them almost invisible. Your child may feel a slight difference in their bite immediately after the procedure, but the bite should adjust within a few days.

What an amazing place with some of the nicest workers!!! Each and every person was so nice and friendly as soon as we walked in the door. From then on everything just got better. Marlee was... absolutely incredible! She showed my daughter every tool, every single thing she was doing and she explained it all to her. This was my daughter's first visit and when leaving she asked when she can go back. Dr Amanda was also so super nice!!! It really was a fantastic visit- I highly recommend!!!read more

Замечательная стоматологическая клиника для детей. Все очень добрые и отзывчивые. Девочки на front desk всегда вежливые, всегда улыбаются. Ассистенты и доктора прекрасно общаются с... ребенком. Визит к дантисту и ортодонту у них просто как праздник. Клиника принимает Medicaid. Рекомендую 100%.read more

Jessi W.
Omg, I love this practice! We moved to the area a little over 2 years ago and tried 2 other well rated dentist offices before, but this practice was THEE perfect fit for my littles who are... on the spectrum and have varying sensory levels.Dr. Amanda and her staff are beyond professional, patient, kind, and you can tell she and her team have put so much thought and skill behind making the office a warm and inviting environment for children to get the best visits without fear or feeling too rushed nor waiting too long. The front waiting room has many toys, a clean restroom, and tv suited for children, the treatment areas have all new seating and equipment that is perfectly sized for little ones, with decor and tools to match. From the flavors of cleaning paste to the post checkup care bags, they take time to think of each patient and his or her little needs regarding oral hygiene and that child’s personality as each visit so far has had new and different dental focused toys and care items, as well as something fun that isn’t just the typical candy 🍬 or random sticker. Making appointments, modifying insurance, and communicating with the office has also been super duper easy, quick and hassle free.I also appreciated seeing them at the local children’s museum for the community event for all the area Kindergarteners!If you are looking for a long term dental practice for your kiddos, this is absolutely the place to go!Thank y’all and see you in 6 months 🪥🦷read more
Jazzmen P.

The L.
If you want your children to like going to the dentist take them here! Dr. Amanda and her team are phenomenal; they explained things to my daughter in terms she understood. The dental... assistant made her feel comfortable with all the tools she was using. The online scheduling team was very helpful, as was the front desk she’s very friendly & accommodating. I wholeheartedly recommend this office! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read more
