Archives The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research reports that about 21% of children aged 6 to 11 have dental caries on their permanent teeth. Le? untreated, the condition could cause tremendous pain and di?iculty in chewing food. In severe cases, it could get infected and form a tooth abscess, a collection of pus which can open the floodgates to other harmful infections. June 2023  (4) Parents can do their part to prevent this problem by teaching their kids to practice good oral hygiene. Some food particles stick in the teethʼs nooks and crannies canʼt be removed with brushing and flossing, however. So, itʼs in a patientʼs best interest to put another preventive measure in place. May 2023  (2) April 2023  (2) As a leading Bethlehem PA family dentistry clinic, Lasting Smiles of Bethlehem o?ers another e?ective way of preventing dental caries among children — dental sealants. Letʼs take a deeper look into how these stop cavities in their tracks. March 2023  (2) What Are Dental Sealants? February 2023  (1) People use the grooves of their teeth to chew food properly. Food particles, however, accumulate on these depressions. When oral bacteria subsequently break the food particles down and produce acid, it wears away the enamel of the teeth. This is the start of dental caries. January 2023  (1) December 2022  (2) To prevent this, dentists apply dental sealants, a thin coating that provides a protective shield over the enamel of the tooth. Theyʼre usually put on the teeth at the back of the mouth, like the premolars and molars, because these o?en have the deepest grooves and, therefore, are more susceptible to dental caries. Dentists also apply them to the sides of the teeth. March 2022  (1) Bear in mind that dental sealants are di?erent from dental fillings. Sealants are a preventive measure and are applied to teeth that donʼt have any dental caries. Fillings, on the other hand, are a treatment that restores teeth damaged by cavities. February 2022  (1) January 2022  (1) Are They Safe for Kids? Dental sealants are safe for kidsʼ permanent teeth. In fact, our dentists recommend sealants as soon as the molars first come. The first molars emerge at around 6-7 years, and a second set follows at around 12-13 years.  December 2021  (2)   November 2021  (2) Call Book Appointment Direction

2. It can be di?icult, a?er all, for children to practice proper brushing and flossing; they might overlook some areas, so theyʼre more vulnerable to dental cavities than adults. Dental sealants are an added layer of protection against these dental problems. October 2021  (2)  September 2021  (2) How Do Dentists Apply Sealants? August 2021  (2) Applying sealants are a fairly simple procedure. Our dentists clean the teeth thoroughly, apply an adhesive to the tooth, and then paint the liquid sealant on top of it. The liquid then hardens and creates the protective film. July 2021  (2) With proper care, dental sealants can last up to 10 years. Kids, however, need to visit their dentists regularly to check them for chipping or wearing. June 2021  (2) May 2021  (2) Pediatric Dental Sealants Donʼt wait for dental carries to bug your kids and keep them from doing their daily activities.
