Pediatric Dentistry & Sealants
Gentle dental care for kids of all ages, including sealants that help prevent cavities.
We see children of all ages and make visits friendly and comfortable. Along with checkups and cleanings, we offer dental sealants, a thin protective coating painted on the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help keep out food and bacteria.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Sealants are often recommended for children's permanent molars as soon as they come in, and can also help adults with deep grooves in their teeth.
What to Expect
Sealants are quick and painless: we clean the tooth, apply the sealant and harden it with a light. No numbing is needed. We'll check them at each visit.
