Sealants

Parents will be happy to know that sealants are an outstanding option for protecting their children’s teeth from accumulating plaque and food particles. Sealants are nothing more than a thin layer of composite resin placed on the back of children’s teeth, the area most frequently missed when kids brush. This extra bit of protection helps prevent tooth decay and will help your little ones produce their best smiles as they learn to take care of their teeth.

Space Maintainers

Space maintainers are an essential device for keeping the socket area open for children’s incoming permanent teeth. Keep in mind that primary teeth, also known as baby teeth, serve crucial functions that include serving as a guide for developing permanent teeth. Children who lose their baby teeth too soon may have permanent teeth that cannot develop and erupt at the proper angle. This is where space maintainers come in. These appliances keep sockets open and are simple to insert and remove.
