Dental sealants on baby teeth
I am a single working poor mom and I live on a very fixed income. So with that said this is my question. My son dental hygienist is strongly recommending that I have dental sealants put on several of his molars, even though my son has no cavities and there is nothing wrong with his teeth.
I do not see the point of having her put sealants on teeth that will fall out in a few more years. When I stated this to her she got very put off by me. She then got an attitude as if I was not a good mom for not wanting to spend the extra money needed.
I will gladly spend the extra money if I felt it was a necessary expense? Can anyone give me a good reason why I should have this done when my son has no cavities? I though you put sealants on teeth that are week or prone to cavities. If I am wrong please tell me so.
