First Visit
When Should Children Begin Seeing the Dentist?
We begin seeing children at age one and encourage regular dental appointments for your child after that time. The best way to help your children keep their teeth and gums healthy and strong is with routine dental visits for check-ups and dental cleanings.
We take our time during your child's dental appointments, talking with you and your little one in a calming environment before proceeding with the exam or dental treatment to make the experience as relaxing and pleasant as possible.
Dr. Christopher J. Constantine and Dr. Lewis S. Libby firmly believe in providing each patient with the quality care and time they deserve, and they will never rush your child's appointments. Please feel free to express any concerns or ask any questions that come to mind during your child's visit.

Prevention
What Are Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments?
With dental sealants and fluoride treatments, we can help protect your child against tooth decay. We can apply dental sealants and fluoride varnish to children's teeth quickly and painlessly.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen teeth and prevent cavities. Fluoride is often found in public water supplies, but we can also apply fluoride treatments directly to the teeth in our dental office.
It's a safe and effective method for strengthening teeth, and it only takes a few minutes to apply it. We can even provide fluoride treatments as part of your child's routine dental cleaning, making the treatment even more convenient.
Sealants
Dental Sealants
All teeth have grooves, fissures, and pits that develop in them, and tooth decay often begins in those crevices. We can seal off those crevices with dental sealant, a liquid sealant that we paint on the tooth in our Towson dental office. Sealants can protect teeth for a long time, so your child can develop a healthy, happy smile with no need for dental fillings. Young patients often get dental sealants when their first permanent molars appear around the age of six.

Are dental sealants safe for my child?
Dental sealants are not only safe for your son or daughter, but they are also highly beneficial. Here's what you should know.
What Is a Dental Sealant?
A sealant is a micro-thin plastic coating that covers the grooves and chewing surfaces of your child's molars to keep out the harmful acids and bacteria that cause tooth decay and cavities.
Our family dentists who treat children in Towson, MD find that children with dental sealants experience fewer problems with tooth decay than those who don't have them.
The procedure is non-invasive and comfortable, doesn't require dental anesthetics or numbing, and it's easy to complete in one short appointment. Sometimes we can even combine applying sealants with your child's routine teeth cleaning and checkup.
Most dental insurance companies will cover a portion of the cost of sealants for your child since this is a preventive procedure. This means there is little out-of-pocket expense for getting sealants for your son or daughter if you have dental insurance.
