Sealants & Fluoride Treatment in Scarborough
Preventive Protection For Stronger, Healthier Smiles
At One Dental Scarborough, we truly believe that prevention is the foundation of lifelong oral health. That’s why we provide both dental sealants and fluoride treatments—two powerful methods proven to reduce the risk of tooth decay in children. These treatments are especially helpful during the cavity-prone years, offering young teeth the extra protection they need to stay strong and healthy as they grow.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are ultra-thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth (molars). These hard-to-reach areas are more likely to trap food and bacteria, making them highly prone to cavities. Sealants act like a shield, sealing out plaque and debris to prevent decay. The procedure is quick, painless, and safe, with results that can last for several years when paired with good oral hygiene habits. Regular checkups help ensure the sealants remain intact and continue providing maximum protection.
What Is A Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps rebuild weakened enamel and reverse early signs of tooth decay. At our clinic, we apply a professional-grade fluoride varnish following your child’s routine dental cleaning to provide enhanced protection. This treatment is especially beneficial for children who may have developing brushing habits or those more vulnerable to cavities. The result is an added layer of defence against tooth decay and stronger, more resilient smiles.
Who Should Get These Treatments?
Sealants and fluoride treatments are most beneficial for:
- Children aged 6 to 14, when molars are most vulnerable
- Kids with deep grooves or early signs of enamel wear
- Those who may need extra protection for long-term oral health
These preventive care options work best when paired with daily brushing, routine dental check-ups, flossing, and a nutritious diet. When combined, they offer a proactive approach to keeping your child’s smile healthy, confident, and cavity-free.
