Dental sealants on baby teeth

Saturday, Apr. 17th 2010 4:31 PM

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.
