Benefits of Having Dental Sealants – Baby Dental
Why use sealants?
Sealants are a quick, easy, and painless way to prevent most cavities children get in the permanent back teeth, where 9 in 10 dental cavities occur.
Once applied, sealants protect against 80% of cavities for two years and continue to protect against 50% of dental cavities for up to four years.
Sealants can eliminate the need for expensive and invasive treatments like dental fillings or crowns.
If dental sealants are applied in schools for about 7 million low-income children who don’t have them, it could save up to $300 million in dental treatment costs.
