Aftercare: Children’s dentistry

A few simple notes for the days after treatment. Keep this page.

  1. After sealants your child can eat straight away.

  2. If there was a numbing injection, watch that your child doesn’t chew their lip or cheek.

  3. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste; supervise until about age 8.
