A dental sealant is a good preventive dentistry treatment that parents usually make their children wear for the purpose of preventing them from having cavities. A sealant is considered an easy solution against tooth decay because it involves a painless procedure and it is effective at saving teeth from decay that starts in the deep grooves of your back molars. The process of applying a dental sealant includes cleaning the teeth and then placing a resin sealant in the grooves of the back teeth. Sealants are helpful because aside from preventing your children from having tooth decay, they also save you from spending more money on expensive dental treatments in the future.

Fluoride treatments are usually administered to children in order to prevent their teeth from having cavities or tooth decay. A form of a highly-concentrated rinse, foam, gel, or varnish is applied on the teeth to strengthen the tooth enamel (thin outer covering of the tooth that acts as a shield that protects the vulnerable area on the side of the teeth which can sustain damage due to decay).
