Call or Text us to get your children scheduled for their exam & x-rays, as well as dental sealants before school starts. Keep reading for more info and FAQs regarding dental sealants ➡➡➡➡
A dental sealant is a thin material that fills deep grooves in teeth, where bacteria and food can get trapped. This material is cured into the grooves and provides lasting protection.
Kids tend to:
1. Lack dexterity to properly brush
2. Have grooves on teeth that are smaller than a toothbrush bristle
3. Snack on processed snacks or consume drinks that contain sugar
4. Breathe through their mouths when sleeping, promoting an environment suitable for decay **this is a red flag, talk to your dentist if your child doesn't nasal breathe while sleeping.
FAQs
Do sealants hurt?
No! The procedure is completely painless. There are no shots, drilling, or numbing required. The tooth is cleaned, prepared, and the sealant is painted on and hardened with a special curing light.
How long does the appointment take?
Sealants can usually be placed in just a few minutes per tooth.
How long do sealants last?
Sealants can last several years. During your child's regular dental checkups, we'll examine them and repair or replace them if necessary.
Do sealants replace brushing and flossing?
No. Sealants are an added layer of protection but don't replace good oral hygiene, a healthy diet, fluoride (if recommended), and regular dental visits.
Can a tooth with a cavity receive a sealant?
Generally, no. Sealants are intended for healthy teeth without decay. That's why we perform an exam and review X-rays before recommending sealants.
Does my child need an exam first?
Yes. Before placing sealants, your child must have a comprehensive exam and current X-rays at Orlosky Dental so we can ensure the teeth are fully erupted, healthy, and free of cavities.
