Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings your dentist brushes onto your child’s teeth. They are used on your child’s back teeth to seal the grooves and fight against tooth decay. Even if your child brushes and flosses well, some areas can be challenging to clean, so dental sealants work as added protection.
It’s best to discuss dental sealants with your Lincoln dentist, but most dentists recommend getting sealants when your child gets their first set of molars, around age six. Sealants are an easy preventive measure against tooth decay.
