While dental sealants are extremely effective for preventing tooth decay in children, they do not replace other forms of preventative oral health care. Children should still brush at least twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste and floss regularly.
It’s also important to schedule regular dental exams every six months, and adopt a balanced diet low in sugar to ensure optimal, long-term oral health. To learn more, give us a call at (575) 523-5589 and a knowledgeable member of our staff will answer any questions you may have.
