Pediatric Dental Sealants to Protect Your Child’s Smile
Dental sealants are a proven preventive pediatric dental treatment designed to protect children’s teeth from cavities and tooth decay. At our San Diego pediatric dental office of Pokala Parvathi DDS, we provide children’s dental sealants as a safe, fast, and effective way to keep young smiles healthy.
What Are Dental Sealants and How Do They Work?
Children’s dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. These sealants act as a barrier against food particles and bacteria that cause cavities, making them an essential part of preventive pediatric dental care in San Diego.
Who Benefits from Children’s Dental Sealants?
Children are most likely to benefit from pediatric dental sealants when their permanent molars first erupt. This children’s dental sealant service is ideal for kids who:
Are prone to cavities or tooth decay
Have deep grooves in their molars
Are still learning proper brushing habits
Need extra cavity protection
What To Expect At Your First Dental Appointment🤔
A child’s first visit to the dentist can be scary. It is our mission to make the first appointment and all subsequent appointments as positive and anxiety free for your children as possible.
Parents may accompany their children to the exam room and stay for any/all procedures so that their children feel more comfortable. The dentist will explain everything about the procedure to your child in a gentle and professional manner as well as answer any questions you or your child might have.
