Pediatric Dental Associates of Randolph wants to be your resource for everything you ever wanted and needed to know about caring for your child's teeth!
Dental Sealants are a thin coating painted onto the chewing surface of molars to protect them against
decay.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends sealants for children’s primary teeth
and permanent molars.
Primary molars are in a child’s mouth from about the age of 6 until they fall out around the age of 12.
During this time, they play two vital roles: maintaining space for the adult teeth forming below the gum
line and ensuring that a child can chew properly. Therefore, it is vital to do whatever is possible to
defend the health and strength of these important primary teeth.
Because a child will have their permanent molars for the rest of their life, it is important to protect them
against decay, especially during the pre-teen and teenage years when kids are likely not on top of their
oral care.
