When kids are first learning to brush, it isn't always easy for them to reach their back molars.  Dental sealants are a great way to help protect these hard-to-reach tooth surfaces!

Dental sealants are bonded directly to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They cover up any grooves and depressions that are hard for toothbrushes to reach. Sealants protect tooth enamel from plaque and acids that would otherwise damage teeth. Dental sealants can last for several years before they need to be reapplied.

While we always recommend that parents supervise children until they are old enough to brush thoroughly, sealants can help protect vulnerable areas by sealing out plaque and food!
