Dental Sealants
|
• | Are in Adolescence: Dental sealants are recommended for all patients who have developed their permanent molars but are still in adolescence. The age range of about 8-18 is still considered an oral hygiene learning phase. We understand that kids are still learning brushing habits and techniques and we want to help them navigate this period with help. Dental sealants can be used to protect vulnerable areas of the teeth while your child matures. We believe that protecting their teeth young will help them maintain their teeth later in life. |
• | Have Areas Where Food Can Be Trapped: Some teeth can naturally have deeper pits or overhangs of enamel creating little caves where food and plaque can become stuck. We can protect the natural enamel while also preventing bacteria from settling in these tiny crevices. |
• | Have Health Problems: There are a wide range of mental or physical health reasons that brushing adequately can be problematic. We can assist in reducing more difficult areas to brush with the placement of dental sealants. |
Each time I am in for a visit, I am impressed by the genuine kindness, professionalism, and warmth from the staff. Having staff engaged with the patients makes a huge difference in your experience and I'll be a customer for life because of their approaching! |
