Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Sealants

Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry, that promotes dental health for children starting from birth to adolescence. A dental visit from a certified pedodontist should be planned within six months after the eruption of the first tooth. This early dental examination will reveal the early signs of cavities or dental decay and subsequent management will be advised to stop the process of dental decay. 

The concept of prevention of dental diseases follows very well with children. It is best to instill and build ideas related to preventive dentistry from the formative years. The health of the teeth throughout the life of an individual greatly depends upon how well he/she is taking care of his/her teeth starting from a very young age. 

Throughout life, an individual two sets of teeth erupt and exfoliates. The milk and permanent also are known as primary and secondary teeth respectively. The milk teeth are very important for the overall development and health of your child. The milk teeth provide numerous functions such as chewing, act as guides for the teeth next in line (permanent) to erupt after exfoliation of milk teeth, helps in the healthy growth of jaws, and speech development, etc. So, the health of the teeth from birth to adolescence is crucial and should be monitored thoroughly, by parents at home and by dental health care professionals in clinics. 

Certain preventive measures help greatly to limit and prevent dental diseases in children for example sealants. The most vulnerable sites on the teeth are the chewing surfaces also known as pits and fissure or grooves. The bacteria tend to hide in these areas and actively produce acid that starts the process of decay. Sometimes the grooves on the chewing sites are deep and curvy that cleaning with the help of a toothbrush is not possible. Sealants are aimed to protect teeth from decay. It is a resin-based material that is applied to the grooves to seal the teeth. Sealants are a great way to prevent and limit decay in milk and permanent dentition as well.
