The majority of tooth decay starts on the chewing surfaces of the molars, where toothbrushes struggle to reach. To reduce the risk of decay on permanent molars, Drs. Hardy and Bushell can provide your child with dental sealants, which form a long-lasting barrier between the tooth and harmful bacteria. To learn if your child is eligible to receive dental sealants in Herriman, Utah, please speak with our pediatric dentists at Copper Cove Pediatric Dentistry.
