Sealants
Molars can trap food and bacteria in grooves, making them prone to cavities. At Sunbeams Pediatric Dentistry, we use sealants to protect these teeth and maintain healthy smiles.
What Are Sealants?
Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. They act as a shield against food and bacteria, reducing the risk of decay.
Quick, Painless Protection
Sealants are applied without drilling or numbing. The procedure is simple, comfortable, and can often be completed in one visit.
Why They’re Important
- Prevent cavities on hard-to-clean chewing surfaces
- Reduce the need for fillings in the future
- Protect children’s smiles while they develop
Comfort & Care
Once placed, sealants feel smooth and natural. Children can eat, drink, and return to school immediately without interruption to their day.
What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?
Most dental emergencies fall into one of three main categories:
- Health
- Function
- Aesthetics
Are you unable to eat, or do you have a chipped front tooth that’s too embarrassing to face work or school? If so, you need an emergency dentist who can see you as soon as possible, ideally the same day.
Some of the most common dental emergencies we treat include sharp or broken teeth, gum swelling, pain, and hypersensitivity. Other frequent issues include soft tissue lesions, such as ulcers under dentures, abscessed teeth, and traumatic injuries. Our team is here to provide prompt and compassionate care when you need it most.
