Our team believes that prevention is key – especially when it comes to protecting young teeth. Pediatric dental sealants in Worcester, Massachusetts, are a safe, effective way to reduce the risk of cavities in children. Our dentist and team apply thin, protective coatings to the chewing surfaces of molars, helping keep harmful bacteria and food particles out of hard-to-clean grooves. This quick, painless treatment helps children maintain strong, healthy smiles as they grow.
Preventive Care for Children
Tooth decay often starts in the deep pits and fissures of back teeth, where toothbrush bristles cannot always reach. We recommend dental sealants to help protect these vulnerable areas. Sealants act like a barrier, shielding the enamel from acid and plaque before damage occurs.
Dr. Harjeet Mundra applies sealants during a regular dental visit, typically soon after permanent molars emerge – usually around ages 6 and 12. The process is fast, does not require drilling and provides years of added protection.
Benefits of Pediatric Dental Sealants
At Grace Family Dental, we use sealants to support long-term cavity prevention in children. Key benefits include:

- Helping prevent decay on chewing surfaces of molars
- Reducing the need for fillings and other restorative work

Sealants are a cost-effective way to reduce cavity risk and build healthy oral habits early in life.
