Fluoride & Sealants

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are very common. If Dr. Shafiei determines your child is a candidate for sealants, they will have a coating painted onto the biting surface of the tooth. This method is highly effective in preventing decay on the tooth’s surface. The seal acts as a barrier for the deeper groves and protects the enamel from plaque buildup. 

Easy to apply, sealants take only a few minutes to place. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed.

Fluoride Treatment

Another common preventative treatment is fluoride treatment. Fluoride treatments help the teeth regain lost minerals and make them more resistant to acid. These treatments are quick and easy, often taking a few minutes at the end of a regular cleaning or checkup.
