THE BIG PICTURE
A closer look at prevention.
A sealant is a thin coating painted into the grooves of a back molar, where a toothbrush cannot reach. Fluoride varnish hardens the enamel surface.

EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS
The right choice
starts with a conversation.
When should my child first see a dentist?
By the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth. The first visit is mostly a conversation with you.
What happens at a first pediatric appointment?
Your child looks around, sits with you, and we count teeth. Nothing is done that has not been explained first.
Can I stay in the room?
Yes, for as long as you want to be. Very young children are examined on your lap.
Are baby teeth worth treating?
Yes. They hold space for the adult teeth, and an abscess in a baby tooth can damage the adult tooth forming above it.
How do I brush a toddler who fights it?
Ask at the visit. It is the single most common question, and a two-minute demonstration on your own child is worth more than any leaflet.
