Parents Should REFUSE Sealants - The Hidden Problems
Have you been told your child needs dental sealants to prevent cavities? In this first episode of a three-part series, I explain four reasons I urge parents to think twice — starting with the fact that sealants and tooth-colored "white" fillings are made of plastic that, once placed, can never be removed. We'll look at the BPA research that has been quietly ignored, how sealants can actually mask decay and set teeth up for bigger fillings later in life, why they block the natural mineralization a new tooth needs, and how the plastics industry came to shape modern American dentistry. The good news: you can help your child have a healthy mouth for life, without sealants.
