Dental Sealants & Fluoride Treatment in St. Albert, AB

Overview

Prevention That
Protects for Years.

At Riverside Landing Dental in St. Albert, dental sealants and fluoride treatments are two of the most effective, non-invasive preventive tools we use to protect against tooth decay in children and teenagers — and both are quick, painless, and direct billed to most major Canadian insurance plans including Alberta Blue Cross, Manulife, Sun Life, and Green Shield.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral with more than 50 years of research behind its cavity-preventing benefits. Applied topically to the tooth surface, fluoride strengthens enamel and makes teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria. It's particularly valuable during childhood when teeth are still developing and most vulnerable.

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the flat chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars) — the most common sites for cavities in children. The sealant fills in the deep grooves and pits where food and bacteria tend to accumulate, creating a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that greatly reduces the risk of decay. Sealants can last for many years and are checked at every routine visit.

Who Can Benefit?

Children who have just erupted their first permanent molars (typically age 6–7)
Teenagers and pre-teens with deep grooves in their molars
Adults without decay who are at high risk for cavities
Children with baby teeth that are particularly susceptible to decay
Anyone who struggles to clean the back teeth thoroughly

FAQ

Common
Questions

Dental sealants can last 5–10 years with proper oral hygiene. At Riverside Landing Dental, we check them at every routine visit and reseal if any areas have worn or chipped.

Absolutely. Professional fluoride treatment at Riverside Landing Dental in St. Albert uses carefully calibrated concentrations that are safe and effective. Fluoride has been used in dentistry for over 50 years with an excellent safety record, and we direct bill most major insurance plans including Alberta Blue Cross and Manulife.

Not at all. The procedure is completely painless — the sealant is simply painted onto the tooth surface and hardened with a light. No needles, no drilling, no discomfort.

While most commonly used for children, adults without decay in their back teeth can also benefit from sealants, especially if they have deep grooves that are hard to clean.
