- Interactive brushing and flossing demonstration
- Preventing “mouth monsters” (tooth decay, tartar, gingivitis)
We’ll also have face painting, giveaways, a visit from the Tooth Fairy, and many other fun activities!
Sealants are thin plastic coatings placed on children’s teeth to “seal” the grooves of the teeth and prevent food from causing tooth decay. Sealants create a protective shield over the surface of permanent teeth helping prevent cavities.
SDF (Silver Diamine Fluoride) is a topical liquid that is brushed on a cavity to stop additional tooth decay. SDF helps delay more extensive procedures. Silver kills bacteria, and fluoride keeps teeth stronger.
Appointments are not necessary but are strongly encouraged. Parent or guardian must be present. Spanish language translation services will be available.
