Sealants For Children

Sealants For Children

Sealants help prevent decay by protecting the surface of the teeth, especially the back teeth where brushing can be more difficult for children. They are made of a clear, liquid resin that hardens when a special light is shined on it. This creates a smooth, hard surface that prevents food from settling in the grooves of your child’s back teeth.

Research has shown that sealants can reduce a child’s risk of decay in treated teeth by up to 80%. The CDC has even weighed in, stating that children without dental sealants may be 3 times more likely to develop decay in the same teeth than children with sealants.

HOW ARE SEALANTS PLACED?

First, the tooth or teeth are washed, dried, and isolated with either cotton rolls or a rubber dam. Then the teeth are etched with a special gel that roughens the teeth, so the sealant material has a rough surface to adhere to. Once that is rinsed off, the sealant material is flowed into the grooves of the teeth and light cured. When all the teeth have been treated, the dentist checks for rough edges and makes sure floss can pass between the teeth.

Generally speaking, there are no side effects with dental sealants unless your child is allergic to one of the ingredients in the resin material, which is extremely rare.

CARING FOR YOUR CHILD’S SEALANTS

Sealants are sturdy and should last up to 10 years, but may need replacing sooner, depending on your child’s lifestyle. Avoiding chewing on ice and hard candy can prolong their life and prevent chipping which might allow decay to sneak in and rot the tooth from the inside. The dentist will monitor your child’s sealants at each visit to make sure they are still intact.

While sealants don’t eliminate the need for proper homecare such as flossing and brushing twice daily, they can offer some protection and can even stop minor decay from developing further.

Just took my 2 kids (age 2 and 4) to Jupiter Kids Dentistry. We had a wonderful experience and were very impressed with Dr. Kamali. The kids had a great time, im just happy the practice is so kid friendly, from front end staff to the doctor, we received a warm welcome. A great start to building a routine for the kids and getting them used to good teeth hygiene and cleanings.

Jupiter kids dentistry is AMAZING! Everyone there from the front desk to your encounter with the dentist and hygienist are skilled, professional, and caring. Dr. Kamali is an excellent dentist that communicates well with her patients and treats patients with care and precision. She informed me of details step by step as she was examining my child’s teeth. Her assistant and hygienists are excellent as well and never seem to rush you. Everyone in the office is very caring and professional. I am so grateful for their services.

Jupiter Dentistry is amazing! Dr. Kamali and Dr. Paradiso are both so gentle and calm with their patients. We can’t thank Dr. Kamali enough for pointing out my daughters enlarged tonsils and suggesting we see an ENT. She caught a problem we had no idea about that sent us down a rabbit hole of why our daughter was dealing with so many other problems(GI issues for 3 years, speech delay, mouth breathing and restless sleep). We had the removal surgery and ever since then, all of her problems have resolved! We were in shock that something so small could make such a huge change in our daughters health and well being. This is all thanks to Dr.Kamali for catching something that even our own pediatrician hadn’t caught. We can’t thank her enough.
