FAQs About Dental Sealants For Children

If your child is prone to cavities, it's a good idea to speak with your pediatric dentist about strategies to manage this issue. Besides maintaining proper brushing and flossing habits, your dentist might recommend sealants. Dental sealants are resins that can be placed on the chewing surfaces of teeth. These resins protect enamel by sealing out cavity-causing bacteria. The CDC says that, unfortunately, this preventive service is incredibly underused, but if patients take advantage of it, it can help prevent about 80% of cavities over the course of two years.

About Me

Beating Dental Fears With Knowledge

Hello I'm Tali Gregory. Welcome to my site! When I was young, I had a truly irrational fear of the dentist. Although I never had cavities or other problems, general cleaning appointments would leave me quaking in fear. My dentist helped me through my fears by carefully explaining the tools and techniques used for the job. When I needed a root canal and crown in my adult years, my fears came back in full force. I used my dentist's techniques as inspiration and taught myself about the process in detail. As a result, I went into the root canal and crown appointments with confidence. I want to share the knowledge I've gathered to help others beat their fear of the dentist. Knowing truly is half the battle. Please visit often to read stories about dental care tools, techniques and supplies.
