  Sealants are not the same as fluoride treatments. The application is similar, but sealants are a semi-permanent protective coating. Dr. Varble, Dr. Applebaum, Dr. Dill and Dr. Wong and our staff recommend that sealant applications for children begin soon after molars erupt, first molars around the age of six, and second molars around the age of 12.
  After the sealant is applied, your child still needs to take proper care of his or her teeth. Regular brushing and flossing is required. Dr. Varble, Dr. Applebaum, Dr. Dill and Dr. Wong may recommend fluoride treatments to strengthen and protect your child's teeth further.
  If you have any concerns about sealants, please discuss them with during your child's next appointment at SmileKidz. We want your little one's teeth to stay healthy for life.
