Protecting your child’s teeth from cavities has never been easier or more effective! Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth, forming a shield against cavity-causing bacteria. These sealants fill in the deep grooves where toothbrushes often can’t reach, giving your child’s smile an extra layer of defense.

The Benefits of Dental Sealants
Proven Cavity Protection
Dental sealants act as a barrier, keeping out food particles and bacteria that lead to decay. This is especially great for kids who are still perfecting their brushing and flossing habits, since it provides an extra layer of protection for those hard-to-clean rear molars.
Comfortable and Non-Invasive
This quick and pain-free treatment doesn’t involve drilling or numbing, making it a stress-free experience for even the most nervous young patients. Your child stays relaxed. The process takes only a few minutes as the sealant is painted onto their teeth and hardened with a special UV light.
Long-Lasting Defense
With proper care, sealants can last for several years. Routine check-ups with Dr. Reardon ensure they remain intact, offering lasting protection for your child’s growing smile.

What to Expect From Dental Sealants
Preparing the Teeth
The dental sealant process begins with a thorough cleaning of your child’s teeth to remove any plaque or food particles. Once their teeth are clean and dry, Dr. Reardon will apply a safe, conditioning gel to prepare the surface for the sealant.
Applying the Sealant
Next, the dental sealant is carefully “painted” onto the grooves of your child’s back teeth. This liquid material flows into every crevice, creating a protective shield. A special curing light hardens the sealant, locking it in place within seconds.
Ongoing Protection
Once applied, your child can eat and drink right away, no downtime required! During regular check-ups, Dr. Reardon will monitor the sealants to ensure they’re holding up well. It’s an easy way to stay ahead of cavities and keep your child smiling with confidence.
