Sealants are thin coatings of flowable filling material often applied on the deep grooves and pits of biting surfaces of back teeth, where dental caries often occur. This material fills the deep grooves of the teeth making them shallower and creating a barrier that protects them from decay. Sealants are completely safe and are highly recommended for children with a high caries rate.
Fluoride toothpaste has been approved by the ADA (American Dental Association) and very safe for children. At Dr Tosun Dental Clinic we highly recommend every child to brush their teeth with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste twice a day and to visit the dentist regularly every 6 months for dental check ups.
