Do you have a young child? Why are dental sealants important for kids’ oral health?
1. Children without sealants have almost three times more tooth decay than children with sealants. (Centers For Disease Control)
2. Sealants may be covered by your North Dakota dental insurance plan. For moms and dads without dental insurance, sealants are worth the price. You will likely abstain from fillings and additional dental visits. Note that some North Dakota dental insurance providers have age limitations for sealants. Designer Smiles recommends having sealants applied as early as possible.
3. With proper care, sealants can last for many years. They protect your youngster during the years they are most likely to get cavities.
By practicing proper oral hygiene and refraining from biting into hard objects, your child can maximize their lifespan.
4. The application process is painless. Teeth are cleaned, dried, and then the liquid sealant material is applied to teeth. It hardens quickly. Your youngster won’t need to skip meals after the treatment.
5. In some situations, sealants can be placed over existing tooth decay to prevent further damage. Dr. Jeff will determine if your child is a good candidate for this application.
Sealants, oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and dental cleanings are essential for pediatric dental health.
