Your child’s dentist in Decatur, IL provides preventive treatments to help your child maintain excellent oral health and lower their risks for preventable conditions,
including cavities.
For older children, we can professionally clean their teeth to get rid of cavity-causing tartar and plaque. However, some children require a little extra assistance, which is where dental sealants come in.
How Do Dental Sealants Work?
A dental sealant is applied over your child’s teeth where it places a barrier between debris and their tooth’s enamel. With a dental sealant, it is difficult for tartar and plaque to form and cause tooth decay.
Your child’s dentist can also apply a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your child’s tooth enamel.
At your child’s six-month checkups, your dentist will always check the integrity of the dental sealant to make sure it is intact. Typically, a dental sealant will last for several years, continuing to reduce cavity risks.
