Sealants A sealant is a
clear or shaded plastic material that is applied
to the chewing surfaces (grooves) of the back
teeth (premolars and molars), where four out of
five cavities in children are found. This
sealant acts as a barrier to food, plaque and
acid, thus protecting the decay-prone areas of
the teeth.
When a child begins to participate in
recreational activities and organized sports,
injuries can occur. A properly fitted mouth
guard, or mouth protector, is an important piece
of athletic gear that can help protect your
child’s smile, and should be used during any
activity that could result in a blow to the face
or mouth.
Mouth guards help prevent broken teeth, and
injuries to the lips, tongue, face or jaw. A
properly fitted mouth guard will stay in place
while your child is wearing it, making it easy
for them to talk and breathe.
Ask your pediatric dentist about custom and
store-bought mouth protectors.
