Dental Sealants & Fluoride Treatment in NE Calgary

Two simple, painless treatments that significantly reduce your child's risk of cavities.

Overview

Fluoride treatment is an effective way to protect teeth from cavities and decay, and dental sealants add another layer of defense, especially for children and teens. At London Square Dental in NE Calgary, we make both treatments quick, comfortable, and part of a proactive approach to your child's dental health.

What Are Sealants & Fluoride Treatment

A dental sealant is a clear or white acrylic resin material applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, the molars and premolars, where most cavities in children are found. It acts as a barrier to food, plaque, and acid, protecting decay prone areas. Sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by up to 80 percent. Fluoride treatment strengthens tooth enamel and helps remineralize teeth, reducing the risk of decay.

Who Benefits from Sealants and Fluoride

  • Children and teens with deep grooves in their molars
  • Kids who are prone to cavities due to diet or brushing habits
  • Anyone looking for extra protection between regular checkups
  • Patients of any age who could benefit from stronger enamel

What to Expect During Your Appointment

  • Initial Examination, we ensure your child's teeth are free of any major issues like cavities or gum disease before treatment.
  • Sealant Application, the teeth are cleaned and dried, a mild etching solution is applied to the chewing surfaces, and the sealant material is painted on and hardened with a special light.
  • Fluoride Application, fluoride is applied using a mouthguard, brush, or tray filled with fluoride gel or foam, taking only a few minutes and completely painless.
  • Absorption Time, we ask your child to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to let the fluoride fully absorb.

Caring for Teeth After Treatment

  • Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after fluoride treatment to allow full absorption
  • Continue your regular brushing and flossing routine
  • Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods immediately after sealant application
