At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that preventing cavities is easier and far betterthan treating them later. That’s why we recommend pediatric dental sealants in Montclair, NJ, for kids who are prone to tooth decay. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to keep out bacteria, food particles, and plaque. This simple, pain free treatment provides long lasting protection for molars, which are especially vulnerable to decay due to their deep grooves.
Cavities can develop quickly in hard to reach areas, especially on back teeth with deep pits and grooves. Sealants act like a shield, covering these vulnerable spots and blocking out decay causing bacteria. It’s a fast, affordable way to prevent more serious dental issues in the future and reduce the chances of needing treatments like pediatric dental fillings later on.
Sealants are typically recommended once permanent molars come in, usually around ages 6 and 12. However, some children benefit from sealants on baby teeth as well. Our team may use tools like pediatric digital X-rays to evaluate your child’s risk and recommend the best time for protection.
