Most us would already know the answer, which is not maintaining oral hygiene. But along with this crucial reason, there is one more culprit which is eating sweet and sticky food frequently.
Well, we cannot completely stop children from having their favorite sweets. But there is another way out to prevent cavities especially in those children who have high risk of getting cavities i.e tooth sealants.
Dental sealants are tooth colored thin material, which as their name suggests, seal the tooth. Hence, it prevents food accumulation and cavity formation in teeth.
Children at high risk of cavities
Those with newly erupted milk and permanent molar teeth
The kids dental specialist will be the best person to guide you whether the child needs dental sealants.
Nevertheless dental sealants should be applied as soon as the new molars erupt in the oral cavity (Be it milk teeth or permanent teeth).
So sealants can be applied at the age of 3 years, 6 years and 12 years (after eruption of first and second molars)
The answer to this is – NO
It is not at all painful and very comfortable for the kid.
Also dental sealants do not require anesthesia to be given so hence kids get it done without any hesitation.
Visit the pediatric dentist to know all about dental sealants.
