Fluoride & Sealants
Protective treatments that strengthen enamel and shield vulnerable teeth from decay—simple, painless, and highly effective.
What it is
Fluoride treatments and dental sealants are two of the most effective weapons against tooth decay. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and can even reverse early decay. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, sealing out bacteria and food particles that cause cavities.
When it helps
- For all children during routine visits (fluoride)
- When permanent molars erupt (typically ages 6 and 12)
- For children at high risk of cavities
- To protect teeth with deep grooves or pits
What to expect at ABC Dental
Fluoride treatment takes just a few minutes—we apply a concentrated fluoride varnish that's painted onto the teeth. It's flavored, quick, and completely painless. Sealant application is also fast and comfortable: we clean and dry the teeth, apply the sealant material, and use a special light to harden it. No numbing needed!
