We’re here to help set your child up for lifelong dental success.
 
Does your child already have most of their baby teeth? No worries. the Hopkins Family Dentistry Team may even try an introductory cleaning and x-rays. We only go as far as your child is willing to let us. Keeping the experience light and fun throughout.
 
If this type of appointment interests you or your child, lets get them scheduled.

Sealants are like a clear coat covering the top of the tooth. A liquid resin flows into the grooves to your child’s rear-most molars. Then hardened to a plastic-like layer using UV light.
 
If you’ve ever tried to remove grime between ceramic tiles you know how difficult it was. The grooves in our teeth act like food magnets. The sealants we use, smooth them out. Defelecting bacteria, acid, and food. So no more debris getting stuck in these enamel grooves. Preventing formation of cavities. Plus, the procedure is fast with no needles. All the positives and none of the negatives that come with dental visits. You can expect dental sealants to last up to 10 years. Consider it a great investment if your child is cavity-prone.
