Extra protection for growing teeth
At Knox Tot Pediatric Dentistry, we know that even the best brushers can miss tiny spots — especially in the deep grooves of back teeth where food and bacteria love to hide. That’s where our Knoxville dental sealants come in.
Sealants are thin, protective coatings that cover the chewing surfaces of molars, helping prevent cavities before they start. They’re a quick, painless, and highly effective way to keep your child’s smile healthy between visits.
Sealants can help with:
- NPreventing cavities in hard-to-reach areas
- NProtecting permanent molars as they come in
- NReducing the need for fillings later on
- NSupporting healthy brushing and flossing habits
Who is a good candidate for sealants?
Sealants are most often recommended when the first and second permanent molars appear, usually around ages 6 and 12. But they’re also helpful for older kids and teens who are prone to cavities or still developing great oral hygiene habits.
A single sealant application can last for several years, and our team checks them at every cleaning to ensure they’re still in great shape. If one needs a quick touch-up, it’s fast and easy to redo.
