At Sphinx Dental & Implant, our mission is to empower healthy smiles for life, and that starts with prevention. Ideally, we want to minimize the need for dental work in the future, especially for our youngest patients.
Children’s molars have deep grooves on their chewing surfaces that are like tiny, hidden canyons – even a toothbrush bristle can’t reach them all! These crevices are prime spots for bacteria to hide and cause cavities. However, there’s a simple and effective solution: dental sealants.
Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. Dr. Elgalady can quickly and comfortably apply the sealant material, filling in those tiny grooves and creating a smooth surface. A special light hardens the sealant within minutes, effectively shielding your child’s teeth from decay.
While sealants need to be reapplied every few years, research shows a dramatic 90% reduction in cavities on sealed molars! This simple, cost-effective procedure can significantly reduce the need for fillings and future dental work.

Think of sealants as an investment in your child’s oral health and a bright smile for years to come. Ask us at Sphinx Dental & Implant, how we can help keep your child’s smile healthy and cavity-free!
