Sealants & Fluoride Treatment in Burlington
Preventive Protection for Stronger, Healthier Smiles
At One Dental Burlington, we believe prevention is key to your child’s oral health. That’s why we offer dental sealants and fluoride treatments—two highly effective methods to help protect young teeth from cavities and decay during their most cavity-prone years.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth (molars). These areas are often difficult to clean properly and more likely to trap food and bacteria. Sealants act as a shield, helping to prevent cavities by sealing out plaque and debris.
Sealant application is quick, painless, and safe, and can last several years with proper care.

What Is a Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen enamel and reverse early signs of tooth decay. In our clinic, we apply a professional-grade fluoride varnish after your child’s cleaning to provide extra protection. This is especially beneficial for children who are still developing good brushing habits or are at higher risk of cavities.
Who Should Get These Treatments?
Sealants and fluoride treatments are typically recommended for:
- Children between the ages of 6 and 14
- Kids with deep grooves or early signs of decay
- Those who may benefit from added enamel protection
These preventive treatments work best when combined with good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and a healthy diet.
