Targeted Cavity Protection for Children and Teens in Atlanta
At Dentistry for Children and Teens, we take a proactive, high-level approach to oral health. Our cavity prevention program is tailored for infants, children, and teens — combining fluoride treatments and protective sealants with expert oversight from board-certified pediatric dentists.
Located in Atlanta’s 30345 area, our boutique dental practice helps families prevent decay before it starts. From your child’s first tooth to their teenage molars, we provide long-term protection designed around growing smiles — all in a calm, modern setting that reflects our specialty in preventive care.
Fluoride Treatments: Strengthening Enamel from the Start
Fluoride is one of the most effective ways to prevent cavities — especially in developing teeth. We offer in-office fluoride varnish treatments that:
- Remineralize weakened enamel
- Make teeth more resistant to acid and bacteria
- Are safe and fast for infants, kids, and teens
- Can be applied during routine dental cleanings and exams
Our pediatric dentists will customize the fluoride plan based on your child’s age, risk factors, and oral health status.
Dental Sealants: Shielding Molars from Decay
Molars and premolars are especially vulnerable to cavities due to their deep grooves. That’s why we offer dental sealants — a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Sealants:
- Block out food and bacteria
- Are pain-free and non-invasive
- Last several years with proper care
- Are ideal for cavity-prone children and teens
Sealants are a powerful complement to regular cleanings and good brushing habits — and can reduce the risk of decay by up to 80%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question
Answer
Are fluoride treatments safe for children?
Yes. Fluoride is completely safe when applied professionally in the right dosage. We follow pediatric guidelines to ensure maximum protection with minimal exposure.
What age should my child get dental sealants?
Sealants are typically applied around ages 6 to 12, when permanent molars first erupt. We evaluate timing on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best results.
How long do sealants last?
With proper oral hygiene, sealants can last 3–5 years or more. We check them at each visit and reapply as needed.
Can my teen still benefit from fluoride or sealants?
Absolutely. Teens are still at risk for decay, especially with poor brushing habits, ortho appliances, or high-sugar diets. Prevention is still critical.
Do you accept Medicaid?
No. We are a private PPO practice and do not accept Medicaid or government plans.
