Dental Sealants
A thin protective coating on your child’s molars that blocks cavities before they get a chance to start.
Prevention That Pays for Itself
The deep grooves on back teeth are magnets for bacteria and food particles — even with good brushing. Dental sealants are a thin, clear coating painted onto those grooves that creates a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. No drilling. No discomfort. Just protection.
Dr. Daniel Dafo typically recommends sealants for children as their permanent molars come in — usually around ages six and twelve. It’s one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent cavities in the teeth most vulnerable to decay.
