Protect your child’s teeth for years to come
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, dental sealants cut down on cavities by 86% in the first year and 58% after four years. At Park Smiles NYC Pediatrics, we’re strongly committed to prevention of cavities and recommend sealing your child’s teeth.
Made of a plastic material, sealants are placed in the pits and fissures of the chewing surfaces of your child’s teeth, particularly the molars at the back of the mouth. Kids are notoriously bad brushers and tend to ignore the problem areas in the back of the mouth that lead to cavities and decay. The ADA recommends that children receive dental sealants as soon as their adult teeth erupt.
Sometimes, your children wear away sealants just by chewing or grinding their teeth. In these cases, the sealant sometimes has to be replaced. If your child follows a good brushing and flossing regimen, the sealants can last up to 10 years according to the National Institutes of Health. Without proper care, sealants may need to be re-applied every two to three years.
Our pediatric specialists at Park Smiles NYC Pediatrics are here to answer all of your questions about BPA-Free Dental Sealants. Schedule a consultation today!
Traditional sealants contain BPA, a volatile estrogenic agent that can be harmful to a child’s health and should not be used in children. In 2013, the FDA banned BPA in baby bottles and children’s drinking cups. In the same way, the safest dental sealants are those that are BPA-free.
