There are many good suggestions out there when it comes to caring for your own smile and when it comes to protecting your children’s smiles. However, when it comes down to sorting through those recommendations and getting serious about choosing the best of the best, you will not want to miss out on protecting your child’s teeth with dental sealants. If you’re not already sure why we suggest this, the time to find out more is right now!
Kids Can’t Brush Well Back There Yet
If you think that it’s something you’re not doing right, think again: Your kids might not be able to completely and effectively cleanse back, hard to reach chewing surfaces because they’re full of little tiny grooves. Even adults have trouble with this but they have a lot more practice. Rather than putting your kids in the tough spot of dealing with consequences for such challenging dental hygiene, let them learn with dental sealants in place. They’ll develop better habits without ending up with cavities if they haven’t quite gotten the hang of it yet.
About Sealants
So, what do dental sealants do back there? First, they’re thin barriers composed of acrylic that naturally biodegrades over time. We paint them over the aforementioned chewing surfaces of your little one’s back molars. Once in place, they stop all manner of bacteria, food, etc., from becoming trapped. The result? Fantastic decay prevention.
Things You Want To Know
No, your children won’t be able to see or feel the dental sealants (their friends won’t see them either). There’s no necessary removal process either, since the material will wear away over time. If touchups become important, we will let you know during checkups!
