Dr. Dennis Morehart, DDS wants your child to have the healthiest smile imaginable, which is why he protects them with dental sealants. Dental sealants are recognized as an effective approach to preventing pit and fissure caries (cavities) in children. They protect the grooved and pitted surfaces of the teeth, especially the chewing surfaces of back teeth where most cavities in children are found.
Sealants are a great way to protect against tooth decay and cavities on your back molars. These teeth are most vulnerable to cavities and decay because they are used in the chewing process and are the most difficult to reach and clean. Molars first come in at around 5-7 years of age, with a second set coming in between the ages of 11-14. It is best for your child to have a sealant placed when the molars first come in to ensure that they are protected early.
