Children often do not do a good job of caring for their teeth. They may not reach the contours of back teeth, which results in a build-up of bacteria and acids leading to plaque and decay. Even the smallest amount of decay is permanent damage that requires a filling.
Fortunately, there is a way to help prevent this occurrence of decay. One application of dental sealants does the trick.
After the teeth are sterilized, a clear, thin plastic coating is brushed on to the surface of each tooth.
Dr. Ellsworth uses a curing light to bond the sealant to the tooth. And that’s the whole procedure! It is painless, quick, and easy, with no shots or drills. The whole tooth remains intact, and this treatment will be the best prevention for both children and teenagers in helping them to keep their natural teeth for a lifetime.
