🦷 What to Expect During the Visit
1. Gentle Cleaning
We start by giving the teeth a thorough but gentle cleaning.
Our dental team carefully removes any plaque or food particles from the surface of your child’s molars. This helps ensure the cavity blocker adheres properly and lasts longer. It’s quick and comfortable—many kids even say it tickles!
2. Drying & Prepping the Tooth
Next, we dry the tooth and prepare it for the cavity blocker.
Once clean, we gently dry the tooth and may use a mild solution to help the sealant bond securely. Your child will relax in the chair while we get everything ready—no discomfort or drills involved!
3. Applying the Cavity Blocker (Sealant)
Here comes the protective shield!
We carefully “paint” a thin layer of the cavity blocker (also known as a dental sealant) onto the chewing surface of each molar. It only takes a few seconds per tooth and is completely painless. Your child can sit back and relax while we apply the shield.
4. Setting the Sealant
A special light helps it stick.
We use a cool blue curing light to harden the cavity blocker in place. This step only takes a few seconds and ensures the protective layer stays strong and secure, ready to defend against sugar bugs and sticky snacks.
5. All Done—Back to Smiling!
That’s it! No downtime, no restrictions.
Once the sealants are set, your child can go back to their day like normal—no waiting, no recovery. We’ll give them a high-five and some tips for keeping their smile strong until their next visit.

“We have had an amazing experience with this dentist and his office. We had a dental crises after seeing a prior dentist office and Peak Pediatric was able and willing to see us within an hour, and take care of the situation in the best way it could have been handled. When a kid loses trust in a dentists because they endure a lot of unnecessary pain and procedures, it’s hard to calm their nerves and even have minor things addressed or taken care of. This dentist was able to restore some trust and add my kiddo feel like a VIP. This is where I will be taking my kids from now on.“
“Peak has taken care of both our kids very well—my son has had such anxiety for dental visits that he used to be sedated for them. He just had his first non-sedated visit today and did so well, much thanks to Peak and their employees.“
“I am so grateful for the team at peak because they ensure that my children always have a positive experience. I am certain my kiddos won’t fear the dentist the way I do. My childhood memories of the dentist are completely different from the memories Hardy Smiles are creating for my littles. I am both grateful and jealous.“
