Kids' Dental Sealants

Kids' dental sealants are a preventive treatment offered at Lynn Haven Dental Specialists to protect children's teeth from cavities. Dental sealants are thin, plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, particularly the molars and premolars. These teeth have deep grooves and fissures that can trap food particles and bacteria, making them more prone to decay.

The application of dental sealants is a quick and painless procedure. Our skilled pediatric dental professionals thoroughly clean and dry the teeth before applying a thin layer of dental sealant onto the chewing surfaces. The sealant is then hardened using a special light, forming a protective barrier over the pits and grooves of the teeth.

Sealants are most commonly applied to permanent molars as soon as they erupt, typically around the ages of 6 and 12. However, in some cases, primary (baby) molars may also benefit from sealant application. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, sealants can last for several years. Our dental professionals will monitor the condition of the sealants during your child's routine dental visits and reapply them as needed.

At Lynn Haven Dental Specialists, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive preventive care to help your child maintain a healthy smile. Schedule an appointment with us today to learn more about the benefits of dental sealants and how they can protect your child's teeth from cavities.

"I can’t say enough good things about this dentist and his team. We recently moved to the area so we needed to find a new dentist. So glad we found Dr Hargraves! First of all, the hygienists that my husband and I had were both very friendly and very thorough which we really appreciated. Dr Hargraves is very easy to talk to and addresses any concerns that you have. "

"My husband and I have had dental implants placed by Dr. Eberle. We cannot say enough about Dr. Eberle and his entire staff. To start with, they are punctual, you are not kept waiting for an appointment. They are very pleasant and return your phone calls. Dr. Eberle is extremely competent, easy to talk to, and painless. Need I say more?"
