Dental Sealants
Extra Protection for Your Child’s Teeth!
Children’s teeth are more vulnerable to cavities, especially in the grooves of their molars. Pit & Fissure Sealants provide an added layer of protection, preventing decay before it starts. At Tanushree Dental Care, Dr. Parth Shah & Dr. Tanvi Shah recommend sealants as a simple and painless way to safeguard your child’s smile.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars & premolars). These teeth have deep grooves (pits & fissures) where food and bacteria can get trapped, leading to cavities. Sealants act as a barrier, preventing decay and keeping teeth healthy.
Why Are Sealants Important for Kids?
✔ Cavity Prevention – Blocks food particles & bacteria from settling in deep grooves
✔ Long-Lasting Protection – Can last 5 to 10 years with proper care
✔ Painless & Non-Invasive – No drilling or discomfort, just a quick application
✔ Cost-Effective – Helps avoid the need for fillings or more extensive treatments later
✔ Recommended for First & Second Molars – Ideal for kids aged 6-14 years when molars erupt
How Are Sealants Applied?
- Teeth Cleaning – Removing plaque and food debris for better adhesion
- Tooth Preparation – A special gel is applied to help the sealant bond properly
- Sealant Application – A thin, liquid coating is painted onto the tooth surface
- Curing Process – A special light hardens the sealant in seconds
- Final Check – Ensuring a smooth and even application
When Should Kids Get Sealants?
Sealants are most effective when applied as soon as permanent molars erupt:
✔ First molars (around age 6-7)
✔ Second molars (around age 11-14)
