Protect Your Childs Teeth Before Decay Starts
Prevention is always better than treatment, especially for children. Fissure sealants and fluoride varnish are two of the most effective ways to protect your childs teeth from cavities. These quick, painless treatments can save your child from fillings and dental anxiety.
Fissure Sealants
The chewing surfaces of back teeth have natural grooves and pits that are difficult to clean, even with good brushing. These fissures trap food and bacteria, making them prime spots for decay. Fissure sealants fill these grooves with a protective coating, creating a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.
When to Apply Sealants
- First permanent molars (around age 6-7)
- Second permanent molars (around age 11-13)
- Premolars with deep grooves
- Baby molars in high-risk children
Fluoride Varnish
Fluoride varnish is a concentrated fluoride treatment painted directly onto teeth. It strengthens developing enamel, repairs early damage, and provides lasting protection against acid attacks from bacteria.
Pricing

The Procedure
Fissure Sealants
The tooth is cleaned and dried. A special gel prepares the surface, then the liquid sealant is painted into the grooves and hardened with a blue light. The whole process takes just minutes per tooth with no drilling or injections.
Fluoride Varnish
The varnish is simply painted onto clean, dry teeth with a small brush. It sets within seconds on contact with saliva and continues releasing fluoride for hours. Your child should avoid eating for 30 minutes afterward.

Aftercare
Continue brushing and flossing normally – sealants only protect chewing surfaces. Avoid very hard or sticky foods that could chip sealants. We check them at each visit and can easily repair or reapply if needed. With good care, sealants provide years of protection.
