Protect Your Smile with Dental Sealants
- Dental sealants offer a simple and effective way to prevent cavities—especially for children and teens. At Dentist on Kingsway, we apply thin protective coatings to your back teeth to keep decay out and smiles healthy.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth—usually the molars. They help prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck in the grooves, significantly lowering the risk of cavities.
Why Sealants Matter for Kids & Teens
Children and teenagers are most prone to tooth decay, especially as their adult teeth emerge. Sealants provide an added layer of defense during these cavity-prone years, giving their smiles a healthier start.
Preventive Power for a Healthier Smile
Sealants act as a shield against cavities by sealing out plaque and food particles from the grooves of molars, which are often hard to clean with regular brushing alone.
Ideal for Children & Teens
Young patients benefit most from sealants soon after their permanent molars come in. It’s a simple, painless procedure that protects vulnerable teeth during their most cavity-prone years.
Quick, Safe & Long-Lasting Protection
The application process is fast and completely non-invasive. Once applied, sealants can last several years, providing ongoing protection without the need for special care.
