Cavities are a common dental problem, especially in children. At Gardenbrooke Dental, we believe in proactive care to help prevent these issues and ensure your child’s oral health for a lifetime. Our Sealants & Fluoride Treatment services are designed to provide a strong defense against tooth decay, helping your child maintain a healthy smile.
Understanding Sealants & Fluoride Treatments
- Dental Sealants: Think of sealants as a protective shield for your child’s teeth. They’re a thin, plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars), where cavities often occur. Sealants create a smooth barrier that prevents food particles and bacteria from getting trapped in the grooves and pits of these teeth, significantly reducing the risk of decay.
- Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria. It also helps remineralize weakened areas of enamel, reversing early signs of decay. Our professional fluoride treatments provide an extra boost of protection for your child’s teeth.
What to Expect During Your Child's Appointment
At Gardenbrooke Dental, we prioritize a comfortable and stress-free experience for your child. Our friendly and experienced dental team will make them feel at ease throughout the appointment.
- Thorough Cleaning: Your child’s teeth will be thoroughly cleaned to remove any plaque or debris.

- Fluoride Treatment: A fluoride gel, varnish, or foam is applied to the teeth to strengthen enamel.
