A safe and effective way to prevent cavities in kids is by having dental sealants.
Dental sealant is a plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay mainly occurs. By going to a dentist, a dentist would be able to put on dental sealants to help protect your children’s teeth. However, even knowing this, only about one-third of children ages 6 – 19 have sealants. Cost can be a factor, which is why having dental insurance and or a plan in place will help many people and their families.
