Sealants: Locking in a Lifetime of Smiles

Did you know protecting your children’s teeth can be as easy as filling in a paint-by-number picture? By applying paint on sealants to your children’s molars, your dentist can lock out decay-causing germs and food particles.

Sealants are painted on as a liquid and quickly dry and harden to form a protective shield over the tooth. Molars are particularly in need of reinforcement because they have small, difficult to reach pits where food and germs tend to get stuck.

Sealants can offer protection for up to ten years, but it’s a good idea to have them checked during regular office visits to make sure they’re not worn or chipped. If they are, your dentist can fix them simply by applying “touch-up” sealant.
