Sealants

At Baltimore Pediatric Dentistry, we offer a valuable dental solution known as sealants. Dental sealants work to prevent cavities by sealing pits and fissures that naturally occur in molars. Sealants “seal off” the pit and fissure of your molars to prevent food and plaque from collecting and forming cavities.

Think of a tooth’s top (chewing) surface as a mountain with many grooves. When your child eats, food gets caught in those grooves.  Although daily brushing is essential, applying a dental sealant will enhance the ability to keep those hard-to-reach areas clean. A dental sealant flows into the grooves, “sealing” the tooth and reducing the probability of cavities.

By offering dental sealants as part of our comprehensive dental solutions at Baltimore Pediatric Dentistry, we’re not only focused on addressing current dental concerns but also committed to preventing future cavities, ensuring your child enjoys a lifetime of healthy smiles.
