Preventive Dental Care for Kids in Lewisville, TX

Keeping your child’s smile healthy starts with early prevention. At Divine Dental, we offer simple, painless treatments that help stop cavities before they even begin.

🦷 Dental Sealants

What are sealants?
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars). These areas have deep grooves that are hard to clean with a toothbrush.

How do sealants work?

  • First, we clean and dry the tooth.
  • Then, we apply the sealant in its liquid form into the grooves.
  • A special light is used to harden the sealant, bonding it to the enamel.
  • This creates a smooth surface that blocks food and bacteria from getting trapped.

Why are sealants important?
Sealants are one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent cavities in kids.

  • Quick and painless
  • No shots or drilling
  • Protects against decay in hard to reach areas

We recommend checking and replacing sealants regularly to make sure they stay intact and effective over time.

What Is a PRR (Preventive Resin Restoration)?

A Preventive Resin Restoration (PRR) is a treatment used when a cavity is just starting but hasn’t yet reached the deeper layers of the tooth.

Think of PRRs as being in between a sealant and a filling.

When do we use PRR?

  • If we notice bacteria beginning to break down the outer enamel
  • But the cavity hasn’t reached the dentin layer (the part that causes pain)
  • Ideal for early stage cavities

What’s the process?

  • We gently remove a small amount of the affected enamel
  • No anesthesia is needed only the outer enamel is treated, which has no nerves
  • Then, we seal the area with a tooth colored resin to stop the cavity from progressing

This conservative procedure allows us to stop decay before it becomes a bigger issue all without discomfort.

Why Choose Preventive Treatments?

Early prevention can:

  • Save time and money on future dental work
  • Help kids avoid pain and discomfort
  • Teach children to take care of their teeth from a young age
  • Keep baby teeth healthy until they fall out naturally

At Divine Dental in Lewisville, we take a gentle, proactive approach to protect your child’s growing smile.
