Pediatric Dental Sealants in New York, NY
Protective coatings on your child's back teeth that block bacteria and reduce the risk of cavities.
How sealants help
An extra layer of protection
Sealants are painted onto the chewing surfaces of molars where grooves and pits trap food and bacteria. The coating creates a smooth barrier that is easier to keep clean.
Application is quick, painless, and does not require drilling. Dr. Veazie typically recommends sealants when permanent molars come in, usually around ages 6 and 12.
