Dental Sealants

Dental sealants and fluoride varnish help protect your teeth from decay

While tooth decay might be inevitable for many patients, there is a lot you can do to help prevent it as much as possible. While regular appointments and oral hygiene at home go a long way, a little help never hurts.

Spokane Family Smiles offers dental sealant and fluoride varnish treatments to our patients during their twice-yearly cleaning and exam. This is a particularly good treatment for children who live in a city or town that does not offer fluoride in the tap water.

Benefits of dental sealants and fluoride varnish

  • Reduces the likelihood of tooth decay
  • Simple & fast procedure
  • Minimally-invasive
  • An effective treatment that will prevent cavities

You deserve a smile you can be proud of

“We recommend that most patients, particularly children who do not regularly drink fluorinated water, be treated with sealants and fluoride. There are few easy wins in life, but these 2 simple treatments are quick, painless, and make a real difference in fighting tooth decay.”.

What to expect

  1. Both treatments are administered at your routine oral care appointments.
  2. Fluoride varnish is administered as a gel on your teeth.
  3. Dental sealants are also painted on, going over the pits and grooves of your teeth.
  4. Treatment is painless, though we recommend not eating or drinking anything immediately after treatment.

Absolutely one of the best dentist offices I have been to. The appointment went smoothly and I was kept well informed of what was going on and if there were any issues.

Always a pleasure to visit. Very friendly, warm, and inviting. Very pleased with the dentist and the staff there. They keep me in tip top shape when it comes to my teeth.

Patient
I contacted Dr. Shumway on a Saturday and he returned my call personally. He offered to see me in one hour even though his offices were closed. This is ‘above and beyond’ patient care.

Patient
Dr. Shumway is the best dentist I have been to in my 67 year old life. I feel very comfortable being in his care and I am deathly afraid of dentists.
Sally B.
Patient
This was an outstanding experience and I could not have left happier. Excellent service. Would recommend them to friends, family, and anyone looking for a dentist.
Uschi G.
Patient
I cracked an old filling and it was loose. Dr Shumway was able to get me in at the beginning of the next week. Employees are always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them.
