Preventing tooth decay is a critical part of maintaining a child’s oral health. At Vibe Dental, we provide pediatric dental sealants as a preventive solution to protect children’s molars and premolars from cavities. Our dentists and team are committed to offering high-quality care that supports healthy development for young patients.
Key benefits of pediatric dental sealants include:
- Barrier protection against food particles and bacteria
- Fast and painless application process
- Long-lasting defense during cavity-prone years
- Cost-effective prevention compared to future restorations
- Safe for primary and permanent molars
Sealants are typically recommended once a child’s permanent molars emerge, usually around age six and again near age 12. However, our dentists will evaluate each child’s needs individually.
The Application Process
Dr. Justin Palmer, Dr. Daniel Lyu and Dr. Aaron Stroh use a simple, non-invasive procedure to apply sealants. After cleaning and drying the tooth, a bonding agent is applied, followed by the sealant material. It is then hardened with a special light.
The entire process is completed during a single visit, and children can return to normal activities immediately afterward. Sealants are durable and can last several years with proper care and regular checkups.
Supporting Long-Term Oral Health
While sealants provide an additional layer of protection, they are not a substitute for brushing, flossing and routine dental visits. Our team helps parents and children understand the importance of good oral hygiene and dietary habits that support the longevity of sealants and overall oral health.
Sealants may occasionally need reapplication due to normal wear. During regular exams, our dentists will check the condition of the sealants and determine if any updates are needed to maintain their effectiveness.
