Dental Sealants
Henderson, NVAn important aspect of the work we do is preventing oral disease. At Joshua M. Ignatowicz DMD & Associates, we strive to incorporate education and helpful measures to increase your ability to maintain a healthy mouth. This includes guidance on brushing and flossing techniques and providing treatments such as fluoride rinses and dental sealants. Joshua M. Ignatowicz, DMD, DICOI understands that preventive care makes a difference. We can help.
Dental sealants are a thin liquid lacquer that we use as a soft brush to paint onto the most vulnerable areas of your teeth. Once hardened, sealants will serve as a barrier between the enamel and bacteria. Sealants are highly successful in preventing disease. Sealants can be applied to the teeth of any of our patients, but are often recommended for:
- Youth
- Elderly
- Have limitations
- Other Health Ailments

Our Youth And Adolescent Aged Patients
At Joshua M. Ignatowicz DMD & Associates, we recommend that all young patients who have grown their permanent molars to have sealants applied to their teeth. We recommend this for multiple reasons including:
- Learning Phase: Adolescent aged patients are still in the learning phase of their oral health. They are learning the benefits and techniques of good oral hygiene and we understand that there is still a lot of learning to continue. Joshua M. Ignatowicz, DMD, DICOI can help your child or teen increase their rate of success by creating a barrier in their most vulnerable spots.
- Healthier Longer:We want to help your child keep their teeth healthier longer. Teeth that have been damaged by disease can be restored, but the damage has been done. If we can help them keep their teeth cavity or disease free, we can help your child keep their teeth longer.
