Common questions
What parents ask about sealants
When should children get dental sealants?
Sealants are often recommended when permanent molars come in, especially if the grooves are deep or hard for a child to keep clean.
Do sealants replace brushing?
No. Sealants add protection for chewing surfaces, but children still need daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits.
