A safe and effective way to prevent cavities in kids are buy having dental sealants. Even knowing this only about one-third of children ages 6 – 19 have sealants. Cost can be a factor and is why having a dental insurance is a good idea.  Many dental insurance plan offer coverages for sealants for kids.  Since they review dental sealants as a good preventive measure for oral health care.

Dental sealants is a plastic coating which is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay mostly occurs.  A dentist would be able to put on dental sealants in order to help protect your children teeth.

Even adult we have dental sealant work done if they have week tooth enamel or easily get cavities.   What is important is to talk over your dental options with your dentist and to see a dentist regularly for good oral health care.

I have a six year old that is starting to brush on her own but I am not sure if she is brushing well enough.  I have her brush her teeth twice a day and I am right now still flossing her teeth at night.

She fusses over me flossing her teeth and wants to do it herself.  She she still to young to be flossing on her own?  Or should I let her do it on her own so she will learn good oral health care

Two days ago I had a cavity filled.  Ever since that time that same tooth really hurts when I chew foods on that side of my mouth.  Funny thing is before the filling the cavity never really hurt me.

So the pain is worse then have a cavity.  So yes I will be going back to the dentist my appointment is in anther day but I would like some idea as to why I should be having this pain.   Is it normal  and if so how long will it take to go away?

I am in very bad shape and need major gum grafting care.   I am low income but I do have dental insurance for basic dental care.  So my current dental insurance will not cover the gum surgery I need.

Are there any teaching hospitals for dental care I can go to that would either be very low cost to me or free?  I am willing to drive almost anywhere but not sure how to go about finding places like them.
