Sealants: Three Ways They Help Safeguard Young Smiles

At Bayside Kids Dental in Odenton, we’re committed to ensuring the oral health of your children. One of the most effective ways we achieve this is through dental sealants– a simple yet impactful method to protect their smiles from cavities and potential dental issues. Children often struggle with maintaining proper oral hygiene, which can lead to the accumulation of food particles and plaque in their molars’ deep grooves. This accumulation of plaque is what leads to cavities or tooth decay. Sealants act as a shield, preventing these spaces from becoming a breeding ground for cavities.

Here are three reasons why we recommend Sealants:

• Cavity Prevention

Because children often struggle with maintaining proper oral hygiene, which can lead to the accumulation of food particles and plaque in their molars’ deep grooves, sealants act as shields, preventing these spaces from becoming a breeding ground for cavities.

• Early Defense

Sealants are thin protective coatings that create a barrier helping safeguard your child’s teeth during the most cavity-prone years and setting a foundation for a lifetime of healthy strong teeth.

• Non-Invasive and Quick Procedure

The process of applying sealants is non-invasive meaning that your child will experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. It involves painting a liquid sealant onto the tooth’s surface, which then hardens to form a protective layer. This procedure typically takes only a few minutes per tooth.

Take the step towards ensuring your child maintains optimum oral health. Schedule an appointment and our experienced team will provide gentle and effective dental care for your children.
