Cavity prevention for kids.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a thin, plastic coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of the back molars — sealing out food particles and bacteria that cause decay.
Sealants are quick, painless, and one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent cavities in school-aged children.

- Reduces cavity risk on chewing surfaces by up to 80%
- Quick, painless application in one short visit
- Lasts several years with normal wear
- Often covered by dental insurance for children
