Q: What are dental
sealants, who should
get them and how
long do they last?
A:
Dental sealants are clear
coatings placed in the deep
grooves of teeth, protecting them
from food and bacteria that can be
hard to remove with brushing.
We recommend having your child’s
permanent molars sealed as soon
as they are fully erupted. You can
expect sealants to last upwards
of 10-15 years and are a safe,
inexpensive way to help ensure
your child’s oral health. Call us
today to make your appointment.
