Kids' dental sealants are a preventive treatment offered at Keys Dental Specialists to protect children's teeth from cavities. Dental sealants are thin, plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, particularly the molars and premolars. These teeth have deep grooves and fissures that can trap food particles and bacteria, making them more prone to decay.
The application of dental sealants is a quick and painless procedure. Our skilled pediatric dental professionals thoroughly clean and dry the teeth before applying a thin layer of dental sealant onto the chewing surfaces. The sealant is then hardened using a special light, forming a protective barrier over the pits and grooves of the teeth.
Sealants are most commonly applied to permanent molars as soon as they erupt, typically around the ages of 6 and 12. However, in some cases, primary (baby) molars may also benefit from sealant application. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, sealants can last for several years. Our dental professionals will monitor the condition of the sealants during your child's routine dental visits and reapply them as needed.
