Yes! Your child is generally included in your plan if you have dental insurance. Every dental insurance plan is unique; however, most provide coverage for preventive teeth cleanings and checkups for children bi-annually. This means you'll likely have little to no out-of-pocket expenses for your child's preventive care.
Dental insurance companies also tend to consider sealants for your child's teeth a preventive procedure, so you may have minimal expense if you choose sealants for your child's smile.
Our dentists often recommend tooth sealants for children to cover and protect the chewing surfaces of their teeth. Sealants are thin plastic coatings we apply to fill in the pits and grooves of the chewing surfaces and keep out the plaque and bacteria that can cause tooth decay.
