Celebrate National Children’s Dental Month at El Reno Grand Dental Studio

She's excited about brushing her teef!Though February is National Children’s Dental Month, many people may not think their child’s smile is anything to worry about. A child’s smile is just as important, if not more, than an adult’s, as their teeth are more at risk of being infected. Dr. Michael Kirk and Dr. Adam Cohlmia understand the importance of your child’s smile, which is why they offer children’s dentistry!

It is important to establish healthy dental habits in your child at an early age. When your little one becomes aware of the proper ways to take care of their teeth early on, they are able to carry those healthy routines with them throughout their life. An important aspect in children’s dentistry is dental sealants. The molars and premolars have deep grooves and pits, giving bacteria an ideal breeding environment. The dental sealants offer your child’s smile protection by covering those grooves, preventing harmful bacterium from making your child’s smile their home. Dental sealants are a key component in cavity prevention, as the molars and premolars are the primary chewing teeth.

Another important area in children’s dentistry is fluoride treatments. Fluoride is an interesting mineral, as they attract other minerals to help your child’s teeth become strong. Tap water is a good way for your child to get fluoride, but because many people use bottled water, your child could be missing out. When your child comes in for their appointment, our team will be able to determine whether or not their smile needs a fluoride boost. Both dental sealants and fluoride treatments are wonderful and effective ways to keep your child’s smile as healthy and beautiful as possible!

Take advantage of National Children’s Dental Month, and make your child’s appointment today! We will be able to set them up for success, and they will be able to have a wonderful smile!

If you’d like to set up an appointment, call us today at El Reno Family Dentistry. Our office is located in El Reno and serves patients from El Reno, Yukon, Minco, Calumet, Hinton, and other communities in the Canadian County.

Give Your Smile Extra Protection with Dental Sealants from Grand Dental

You may have heard of dentists using dental sealants to help young patients protect their teeth, but did you know that adult patients can benefit from them too? After all, it’s not just children who get cavities in the pits and grooves of their teeth—it can happen to anyone. But with dental sealants, it’s possible to keep teeth healthy and cavity-free.

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are a thin plastic film that we apply daily to the smiles of our El Reno patients. More specifically, sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars in a two-step process.

In the first stage of this process, your teeth will be prepared with a special cleaning and etching solution. Then, after about 15 seconds, we’ll rinse that off, dry your teeth, coat them with our sealant, and then use our curing light to turn that liquid into a hardened plastic that provides a physical barrier for teeth, protecting them from cavity-causing bacteria.

When Should Dental Sealants Be Placed?

Dental sealants can be used to protect molar and premolar chewing surfaces, meaning they can be placed at almost any age. First permanent molars erupt at about age 6. By placing sealants on them shortly after they erupt we can protect them from developing cavities where food and bacteria collect. Second permanent molars erupt later on at about 12 years. As with the first case, the grooves of these teeth are also susceptible to cavities and can benefit from the protection dental sealants can offer.
