Give Your Child's Teeth Extra Protection Against Cavities
Even with good brushing habits, the back teeth can be difficult for children to clean properly. Their deep grooves easily trap food and bacteria, making them more vulnerable to cavities. At the American Medical & Dental Center, we provide Dental Sealants for Kids to help protect these teeth during the years they're most susceptible to decay.
This simple, well-tolerated preventive treatment adds an extra layer of protection, helping children maintain healthy smiles as they grow.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental Sealants for Kids are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of permanent molars. Once in place, the sealant fills the natural grooves of the tooth, creating a smooth barrier that helps prevent food particles and bacteria from settling in areas that are difficult to clean.
Sealants don't replace brushing or flossing, but they provide valuable additional protection. They're most effective when applied soon after the permanent molars erupt, before cavities have a chance to develop.
During your child's examination, our dentists will assess whether dental sealants are recommended based on their age, oral health, and cavity risk.
Benefits of Dental Sealants
Helps protect permanent molars from cavities
Seals deep grooves where plaque commonly collects
Quick and comfortable for most children
Supports long-term preventive dental care
Can reduce the need for future fillings
Complements regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits
What to Expect
The procedure is simple and usually takes just a few minutes per tooth. After cleaning and drying the tooth, a special solution is applied to prepare the surface. The sealant is then carefully painted onto the chewing surface and hardened using a curing light.
There's no drilling, no injections, and no recovery time. Once the sealant has set, your child can return to their normal daily activities immediately.
We'll continue checking the sealants during routine dental visits to ensure they remain intact and continue protecting your child's teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Book Appointment
At what age should children get dental sealants?
Sealants are usually recommended when the first permanent molars appear, typically around ages 6 to 7, and again when the second permanent molars erupt around ages 11 to 13.
How long do dental sealants last?
Sealants often last several years. We check them at every routine visit and can repair or reapply them if they become worn or chipped.
Can a child still get cavities after receiving sealants?
Yes. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, but cavities can still form between teeth or on other surfaces, so brushing, flossing and regular check-ups remain important.
