Are tooth sealants recommended for children?02/02/2001 03:32PM |
Do you recommend the use of tooth sealants in young children? If so, do you suggest using them on permanent teeth, only?Thank you.
Dental sealants have been proven to prevent decay in the deep pits and fissures on the biting surfaces of children`s back teeth (molars). They are most commonly indicated for permanent teeth but sealing primary (baby) teeth can be cost effective in some cases. Your child`s dentist will consider the risk of future cavities when he or she considers using dental sealants.
