As a successful author, interior design guru (with 127 makeovers in eight years on The Oprah Winfrey Show<\/em>), and host of his own television program, The Nate Berkus Show<\/em>, Nate Berkus understands the important role a beautiful smile plays in one’s life and career. In a recent interview with Dear Doctor<\/em> magazine, Nate discussed his oral health history. Berkus credits his all natural smile \u2014 no cosmetic dentistry here \u2014 to the treatments he received as a child from his dentist. \u201cI’m grateful for having been given fluoride treatments and sealants as a child.\u201d He then added that, \u201chealthy habits should start at a young age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental sealants are important because they help protect developing young teeth until the enamel has matured. Without dental sealants, the newly erupted immature enamel of teeth is more permeable, meaning that the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth can damage these teeth more easily. This makes the teeth less resistant and thus more susceptible to tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of how much your children brush their teeth, the reality is that toothbrush bristles cannot reach down to clean out the crevices found in the deep grooves (\u201cpits and fissures\u201d) of teeth. And if not removed, the bacteria found in these grooves produce decay-causing acids as a byproduct of metabolizing sugar. However, when sealants are used in combination with fluoride, good hygiene and nutrition (including lower sugar consumption), the odds of having tooth decay is dramatically reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We refer to dental sealants as \u201cpit and fissure\u201d sealants because they protect the grooves found in the top of back teeth and the back of front teeth. Sealants also may reduce the need for subsequent treatments as your child grows older \u2014 just as it did for Nate Berkus. For these reasons, sealants are definitely something that all parents and caregivers should consider for their young children.To learn more about dental sealants, contact us<\/a> today to schedule an appointment<\/a> so that we can conduct a thorough examination, discuss any questions you have as well as what treatment options will be best for you or your child. Or to learn more about sealants now, you can continue reading the Dear Doctor<\/em> magazine article \u201cSealants for Children<\/a>.\u201d And to read the entire interview with Nate Berkus, please see the Dear Doctor<\/em> magazine article \u201cNate Berkus<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
