Sealants and Fluoride Treatments in Clinton, NJ  | Clinton Dental Group

At Clinton Dental Group, we prioritize prevention—especially for growing smiles. Two of the most effective, affordable ways to protect your teeth from cavities are fluoride treatments and dental sealants. These services are fast, non-invasive, and highly recommended for children, teens, and cavity-prone adults.

​

What Are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the deep grooves of molars and premolars—areas where cavities often form. They act as a barrier against plaque, bacteria, and food particles.

Benefits of sealants include:

• Up to 80% reduction in cavity risk

• Long-lasting protection for chewing surfaces

• Quick, pain-free application—no drilling or numbing

• Ideal for both kids and cavity-prone adults

​

What is Fluoride and Why it it Important?

Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent decay. While fluoride is found in many toothpaste brands and public water systems, professional fluoride treatments at the dentist offer stronger, targeted protection.

We recommend fluoride for:

• Children with newly erupted permanent teeth

• Teens with a history of cavities

• Adults with sensitivity or weakened enamel

• Patients wearing braces or aligners

• Those with dry mouth or gum recession

Fluoride treatments are quick, painless, and typically applied at the end of your cleaning.

​

Covered by Most Dental Insurance Plans for Children

Most dental insurance plans fully cover fluoride treatments and sealants for children and adolescents. These are considered preventive services, which means no out-of-pocket cost in many cases.

Our team will verify your child’s coverage before treatment and explain any benefits or options available for adult patients as well.
