  2. Introduction Sealants are given to children to prevent them from having dental problems. Dental sealants are applied on the chewing surface of the teeth; this is why some edibles must be stopped immediately after your kid's dentist has coated it to your child's teeth. It is important to know what dental sealants are, and how useful it is to your child's teeth, as this will guide you in giving your child only food substances that will not trigger the disturbance of this treatment.

  3. Dental Sealants The sealants are applied to the chewy surface of the teeth, which is the molar. This area is often composed of pits and crevices, and children can find it burdensome to brush or floss properly. sealant applications are not painful. Being made of tough plastic compositions, they are coated on the chewy surface sealant application can last as long as 2-5 years. It feels normal and comfortable in the mouth, and your child should wear it when permanent teeth have started developing.

  4. Food To Avoid Hard Food Sealant applications cannot stop a child from eating their favorite food, but the problem lies in eating hard food substances. Since sealants are plastic-made, biting down hard food can rip them off from their actual position. Asides from breaking off the sealant, strong edible food substances will require too much pressure to grind to bits, causing the sealant to wear out easily. If your child must have some hard edibles, crush them first before giving the child to consume.

  5. Sticky Foods Edibles like fruit snacks, caramel, gummy, toffee, chewy candies, can stick to your child's newly fitted sealants and rip them off. Sealants can be pulled off due to sticky food because they are resins, although in the medical grade. If your child loves chocolates, explain to him or her why this sticky treat may be bad after wearing sealants. If you encourage it, the chocolate can get stuck on the chewy surface where the sealant has been applied.

  6. Summary Caring for the teeth of your young child can be a difficult task; this is why sealants are important to help them grow up with a reduced cavity risk. The idea of protecting the child's teeth with dental sealants is better than daily monitoring on brushing and flossing which is good, but most children still find it to be stressful as keeping their molars free from plaque buildup can be nearly impossible. www.sweettoothweston.com
