For boy the plastic is bad.

[ ] selants for teeth

We are about to get dental insurance. Sealants are covered. Do, YES/NO? One mild

spectrum one food allergies nt. No cavities either boy so I've been taking my

chances and doing fine.

BTW for other parents out there, I did fluoride for my oldest per doctor and

stopped on my youngest when he was maybe 1 1/2. No fluoride tooth paste since

and we pass on all the fluoride at the school, dentist and my kids haven't even

had x-rays yet. Why is it, every time they go they want x-rays. If there isn't a

problem, WHY???? Makes me so angry! Anyway.....don't know that we've discussed

sealants here. Just wondering what others thought on this subject.

Thanks in advance

Tammy,

I did sealants for my kids, and would not recommend it. With my daughter a

sealant didn't " seal " completely, and she developed a cavity underneath the

sealant.

Best to you,

Peggy
