SEALANT Q & A
- What are dental sealants? Thin, protective coatings for the chewing surfaces of back teeth, preventing decay.
- Why are they important? Sealants keep out germs and food, reducing the risk of decay and the need for future dental work.
- Can my child still brush their teeth? Absolutely! Sealants don’t replace good hygiene habits; they enhance them.
Plus, learn about Fluoride Varnish! A treatment to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay.
Don’t miss out on this chance to protect your child’s smile. Visit Healthy Connections Dental today for more information and to secure your spot.
Let’s keep those smiles bright and healthy together!
