Pediatric Dental Sealants in Denver, CO

The tooth is cleaned and dried, then a mild conditioning solution is applied to help the sealant bond to the enamel. Dr. Yang paints the sealant material into the grooves of each molar and hardens it with a curing light, creating a smooth, protective barrier in just minutes. The sealants are checked at every routine visit and can be reapplied if they begin to wear over time.

• Applied soon after permanent molars erupt for best results

Sealants are one of the most effective ways to protect your child's teeth during their most cavity-prone years, and the process is a great experience for kids since it involves no shots or discomfort. The deep grooves on children's permanent molars are especially hard to keep clean with a toothbrush, making these teeth particularly vulnerable to decay. Sealants provide a physical barrier that keeps food particles and bacteria from settling into those grooves. Applying sealants soon after permanent molars erupt gives your child protection during the years when cavities are most likely to develop.

Sealants are a simple, proactive step that can help your child avoid cavities on their back teeth. Ask Dr. Yang about sealants at your child's next dental visit.
