Fort Myers Dental Sealants
Protect your child’s teeth from decay
Preventive treatment to keep away cavities
While regular in-office preventive care and at-home oral hygiene go a long way toward keeping tooth decay at bay, some additional protection is needed to provide even more protection. At smiLee, Dr. Jenny often recommends dental sealant treatment to help shield your child’s teeth from potential cavities.
Our Fort Myers dental sealant treatment is a minimally invasive and straightforward approach, ensuring the longevity of your child’s oral health.

Dental Sealant FAQs
How do dental sealants work?
Our Fort Myers dental sealant treatment involves applying a protective coating to the grooves and pits of your child’s newly erupted molars and other susceptible teeth, preventing food and bacteria buildup.
Is the treatment safe for children?
Absolutely! Dental sealants are a safe and effective preventive measure, recommended as soon as the permanent molars erupt. Dr. Jenny ensures the procedure is comfortable and tailored to your child’s needs.
When should sealants be applied?
Dr. Jenny typically recommends sealants as soon as the permanent molars erupt and may suggest them for other teeth based on your child’s risk for cavities.
Can parents contribute to the process?
Certainly! Dental sealants are a collaborative effort. While Dr. Jenny administers the treatment, parents play a crucial role in maintaining regular dental check-ups to ensure continued effectiveness.
