How Fluoride & Sealants Help Protect Your Teeth
Preventing tooth decay starts with strong enamel and good oral hygiene. Fluoride and dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection for patients of all ages — especially children and teens who may be more prone to cavities.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens enamel and helps reverse early signs of tooth decay. In-office fluoride treatments are safe, fast, and especially helpful for:
- Children still developing their permanent teeth
- Adults with early signs of enamel erosion
- Patients with dry mouth or higher cavity risk
We apply a concentrated fluoride solution to the teeth, allowing it to absorb and remineralize enamel — providing long-lasting defense against decay.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the grooves of the back molars — where food particles and bacteria are most likely to collect. They’re commonly used for:
- Children and teens after their permanent molars erupt
- Adults with deep grooves or early signs of decay
- Patients who want added protection between cleanings
Sealants are completely painless and can last for several years. They create a barrier that helps prevent cavities from forming in hard-to-clean areas.

FAQs About Fluoride & Dental Sealants
At what age should my child get sealants?
Most children receive sealants once their first permanent molars come in — usually around age 6 — and again when second molars erupt at age 12.
How long do dental sealants last?
Sealants typically last 3–5 years, but many can remain effective for up to 10 years with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
Is fluoride treatment safe for kids?
Yes. Professional fluoride treatments use a safe concentration tailored for children and are applied quickly in-office with no risk of overexposure.
Do adults benefit from fluoride or sealants?
Absolutely. Adults with high cavity risk, enamel wear, or dry mouth may benefit from both fluoride treatments and sealants for added protection.
Is the process for applying sealants painful?
No. Sealant application is quick, painless, and non-invasive — no drills or needles involved. It’s a great option for cavity-prone teeth.
