If you are concerned for your children’s oral health, you can consider having some sealant applied to their teeth. Dental sealant can help prevent cavities on you children’s back teeth.

The sealant is made of a special type of plastic that can safely rest in your mouth. Drs. Makar, Losin and Wong apply it in a thin coat over the molars and premolars, which make up the back teeth. A nice little benefit is that the sealant can be placed and hardened in just a few minutes. It barricades those teeth from bacteria, particularly the kind responsible for the formation of cavities.

Another nice benefit is that the sealant can be invisible. It can be about as clear as clean glass and so thin that it may not be seen at all. It should also not produce any noticeable taste, so your children can carry on as if it were not there.

About the earliest we can give children sealants is around age six. It is about that age that the back teeth start to appear.

While sealant is usually recommended for children, it can also be of benefit to adults. Just about anyone can receive some dental sealant to help protect their teeth from cavities. It is not a substitute for brushing and flossing, but it can be a little addition that boosts your oral health.

Lost teeth can make it difficult to talk. Without teeth in your mouth, it is difficult to make certain sounds that require your tongue or lips to rest against your teeth. With dentures, patients can regain their speaking voice and are able to communicate.

A lack of teeth can also cause facial muscles to sag, which makes a person look older. Dentures provide the necessary support for your facial muscles, and reduce the sagging caused.
