Tooth decay and children no longer have to go hand-in-hand. In our Geneva IL dental office, we are focused on preventive care. We use the latest in sealant technology to protect your child's teeth. A dental sealant is a plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of back teeth. Groves in these teeth are so narrow that a toothbrush cannot fit into the spaces to remove the plaque. Dental sealants will prevent tooth decay in the grooves of these teeth. This is just one of the ways we will set the foundation for your child's lifetime of good oral health.
