Sealants & Fluoride for Kids

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps it resist acid from sugars and bacteria. A professional fluoride treatment is quick, and goes on after a cleaning.

1. 01The tooth is cleaned and dried.
2. 02A gentle solution prepares the surface.
3. 03The sealant is painted on and set with a special light.
4. 04We check your child's bite.

There are no needles and no drilling, so it is comfortable for most children.

Children whose adult molars have come in are often good candidates, and fluoride can benefit children of many ages. We will recommend what suits your child at their check-up.

• Let us know about any allergies or health changes.
• Have your child brush before the appointment.
• Bring your insurance or NIHB details.

• After fluoride, avoid eating and drinking for the time we advise.
• Avoid very sticky or hard foods that could pull at sealants.
• Keep brushing twice daily and flossing; sealants do not replace good habits.
• We check sealants at regular visits and repair them if needed.

We bill insurance directly and accept NIHB. Many plans cover preventive care for children. We follow the Alberta Dental Association Fee Guide, and our team will explain coverage first.
