A lifetime of good health begins with the first visit! As well, Dr. Kal and Dr. Farah offer children’s sealants. The Canadian National Institute of Dental Research indicates that 95% of all cavities in children aged 5 to 17 are pit and fissure caries. These deep grooves and pits appear on the biting surfaces of molars and pre-molars. As parents, it is up to us to opt for non-destructive, painless, and preventive procedures for our children, rather than undergoing anesthetic injections and filling procedures which are more costly in the long run. This decay can be effectively prevented through the use of pit and fissure sealants. Sealants are applied as a liquid that fills in the grooves naturally appearing on these teeth. The liquid quickly hardens, forming a barrier that prevents food particles and bacteria from getting trapped in these crevices and causing decay. If you have any questions about your child’s oral or overall health, please feel free to speak with one of our team members today.
