-- The family clinic is now performing tooth-sealing procedures for children whose adult molars have recently appeared, minimizing the chance of damage during the teenage years when cavities are most likely to occur.

Dentist 101’s pediatric dental sealant service update comes in light of recent figures published by the CDC, which revealed that dental sealants protect children’s teeth against 80% of cavities for 2 years and 50% of cavities for up to 4 years.
The Houston clinic’s lead practitioner, Dr. Jessica Su, recommends that dental sealants are applied to permanent, or ‘adult’, molars when they first appear, between the ages of 6 and 12. The Temple University School of Dentistry graduate and experienced pediatric dentist will guide parents and children through the sealant process and advise on the most appropriate course of action for each patient’s unique case.
The clinic’s sealing treatment is painless, involving the application of a thin coating to the surface of the teeth to preserve the enamel and prevent decay and cavities. This liquid coating bonds to ridges and grooves in the teeth, protecting them from bacteria and corrosion.
