Modesto Kidz Dental specializes in preventing dental problems before they occur. One of the best preventive measures we offer is the use of sealants. Sealants may be recommended because they seal and protect deep grooves in your child's teeth, preventing decay from forming in these hard-to-reach areas. Dental sealants are thin, clear coatings that are painted on the chewing surface of the teeth. The sealant fills in a tooth's grooves so that food can't accumulate in these hard-to-reach areas, where it’s estimated that 80 percent of tooth decay in school-age children occurs. Sealants typically last for several years. During your regular check-ups at Modesto Kidz Dental, your child’s sealants will be assessed and monitored.
