Who Should Get Sealants?

Young children can benefit the most from sealants, especially those who may not yet know how to properly brush and floss their teeth. The sugary foods and beverages beloved by children also contribute to tooth decay. This makes it important to protect their teeth while they’re young and to teach them good at-home hygiene habits. Our dentist recommends sealants for children between the ages of 6 and 12 to help protect their smiles during those cavity-prone years.

However, sealants aren’t just for children. Teens and adults can also benefit from the additional cavity prevention provided by sealants. Ask our dentist if sealants are right for you or your children.
