A common practice in <strong>children\u2019s dentistry<\/strong> is dental sealants. Because a child\u2019s tooth is more susceptible to cavities and decay, sealants provide protection by having a plastic covering painted in the grooves of the tooth to protect from future or further harm. Sealants are primarily applied to premolars and permanent molars, as the grooves are deeper than the other teeth and more susceptible to deterioration.<\/p>\n<p>Along with sealants, fluoride treatments are also involved in <strong>child dentistry<\/strong>. Fluoride plays a part in preventing decay, and acts as a magnet for attracting other minerals to build strong teeth like Calcium and Phosphate. \u00a0\u00a0Although fluoride does not prevent cavities from emerging, it can certainly delay their arrival, giving your child a better chance to have beautiful, healthy teeth. Establishing routine brushing and flossing habits early on is a sure way of having your child\u2019s smile be as beautiful as possible, and \u00a0<strong>Dr. Bianco <\/strong>as well as the Blanco Circle team are here to make sure your child has an awesome experience.<\/p>\n<p>At\u00a0<strong>Blanco Circle Dental Care, Dr. Gary Klugman and Dr. Christina Bianco<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>provide quality general, cosmetic and sedation dentistry services.
