Toothbrushing – Start it young<\/strong><\/p>\n Get your child to brush their teeth every day from around 18 months of age. This will encourage a habit of brushing teeth. You will need to help your child brush until they are old enough to do it themselves, usually around the age of six to seven years. Encourage your child to spit out, not swallow, toothpaste<\/p>\n Dental Sealant<\/strong><\/p>\n Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to teeth that are at risk of decay. Although tooth decay in children has decreased, preventable decay still occurs. Combined with drinking fluoridated tap water and using a toothpaste with fluoride, sealants will virtually eliminate decay in the permanent teeth of many children. Sealants are safe and painless.<\/p>\n Protect Your Child\u2019s Teeth \u2013 Seal Out Decay!<\/strong><\/p>\n Early care of children\u2019s teeth is important in setting the stage for a life of healthy teeth and gums.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t What are sealants?<\/strong><\/p>\n A sealant is a thin plastic coating, which is placed in the grooves on the chewing surface of the back teeth. Sealants keep food and bacteria from packing into the grooves of teeth. Sealants protect the enamel from plaque and acids. Why are sealants needed?<\/strong><\/p>\n Your teeth are covered with a sticky film of bacteria, called plaque. When you don\u2019t clean your teeth after eating, plaque bacteria use sugar and starch in food as a source of energy. The bacteria change the sugar or starch into harmful acids that attack tooth enamel. Repeated attacks may cause the enamel to break down, resulting in cavities. Who should get sealants?<\/strong><\/p>\n Children benefit greatly from sealants. This is because the teeth have not been in the mouth long, and have not had time to develop cavities. Sealants are put only on teeth that do not have any cavities. The best time to have sealants placed is just after the back adult teeth have erupted.<\/p>\n How are sealants put onto teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n Sealants are easy for your dentist to apply, and it takes only a few minutes to seal each tooth.<\/p>\n The teeth that will be sealed are cleaned. Then the chewing surfaces are roughened with an etching solution to help the sealant stick to the tooth. The sealant is painted onto the grooves of the back teeth, and then it hardens. Sometimes a special light is used to help the sealant harden. \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dental for Kids Even a checkup can be a frightening experience, especially for children.

When properly placed, sealants are nearly 100 percent effective in preventing decay in back teeth.<\/p>\n
Thorough brushing and flossing help remove food and plaque from the smooth surfaces of the teeth. However, toothbrush bristles cannot reach all the way into the grooves on the chewing surface of the teeth.
Sealants protect these grooves by \u201csealing out\u201d plaque and food<\/p>\n
Please give your child the best chance for healthy teeth and seal out decay.<\/p>\n
