About Woodridge
Dental Sealants
Ideally, flossing and brushing your teeth are the best ways to prevent cavities. However, there are some spots of our teeth we might not be able to get to. The purpose of a dental sealant is to help keep your teeth clean and prevent decay. A dental sealant is a thin and protective coating that is made from plastic or other dental material that sticks to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.
Sealants have proven to reduce risk of decay most prominently in children’s dental health. Our dental office in Woodridge provides children and adults with sealants to help protect the grooves and surfaces of your teeth from food and plaque buildup.

Dental Sealants For Kids
Tooth decay is most commonly found in children. Luckily, cavities are preventable and there are solutions you could explore. Dental sealants are one of the solutions used to prevent cavities in children. Cavities in baby teeth can lead to cavities in permanent teeth which also can become a lifetime of oral health issues. Cavities don’t necessarily happen instantly, the bacteria in the mouth leaves acids which weaken our enamel slowly. It is recommended by the ADA that dental sealants are appropriate for kids ages 5 to 14.
