FAQs
What are dental sealants for children?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars) to prevent cavities. They create a barrier that blocks food and bacteria from getting into the grooves of the teeth.
Is the sealant application painful for kids?
No, applying sealants is a painless and quick procedure. It doesn’t require drilling or injections, so children usually find it comfortable and easy.
How long do child sealants last?
Sealants typically last several years but need to be checked regularly during dental visits. If they wear down or chip, our team at Nitender Kumar DDS can easily repair or replace them.
At what age should my child get sealants?
Sealants are often recommended once a child’s permanent molars come in, usually between ages 5 to 7, and again for the second molars around age 12. Your dentist at Nitender Kumar DDS will advise the best timing.
Are sealants covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover sealants for children. We suggest checking with your provider or contacting us at (513) 773-5384 - Fairfield Office or (513) 773-5384 - Cincinnati Office for help with benefits and coverage.
