Dental Sealants for Kids: A Simple Way to Prevent Cavities



An Easy Solution for Young Smiles

Children are particularly vulnerable to cavities, especially on the chewing surfaces of their back teeth. At Marinaside Dental, we recommend dental sealants as a fast, affordable way to protect those vulnerable areas.

What Are Dental Sealants? 

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the grooves of molars. They create a smooth surface that makes it harder for plaque and food particles to settle in hard-to-brush areas.

Why Kids Benefit Most

As a family dental clinic in Vancouver, we often apply sealants as soon as a child’s permanent molars come in. This early step in preventive dental care can significantly reduce the risk of cavities.

The Application Process

Sealants are painless and quick. After cleaning the tooth, we paint on the sealant material and cure it with a special light. The entire process takes only a few minutes per tooth.

Start Early with Strong Prevention

Ask our Yaletown dentist about sealants during your child’s next dental check-up. It's one more way we help families maintain lifelong oral health.
