A Child’s First Visit
Young children handle morning appointments best because they start the day well-rested and more open to new experiences. Most children respond positively to their first dental visit, and with a little preparation, your child is likely to do the same. As you prepare your child for this important first step, we prepare ourselves to deliver the highest level of care. Part of that care may include preventive treatments like applying dental sealants in our Appleton office. To help us deliver the best possible experience, please share any relevant details about your child’s dental, medical, and social background.
What is the Process for Sealants?
Dr. Luther cleans and rinses the tooth surface to make sure that it is free of any decay. We rub a special cleansing liquid on the tooth and then rinse it away. Finally, a seal is applied, usually on the chewing surface of the back teeth until it hardens. The procedure is pain-free and takes about five minutes per tooth.
Who is a Good Candidate for the Sealants?
Anyone who is at a high risk for dental decay should consider sealants. In general, children are good candidates for sealants as long as they are applied before their teeth have a chance to decay.
Adults can also take advantage of sealants to prevent decay.
I have never had such a good experience with getting a new crown. Not only was the temporary one done with precision, the new one was put on without pain and my bite is perfect! Also, the staff is very kind, caring and professional. Dr John really impressed me and I am thankful to have this team as I really hate going to the dentist....lol. Great place so far!
