Your little one might mention a sensation of not being able to touch their back teeth together today. This feeling should subside within a week as their bite adjusts. It's also common for children to experience a brief sour taste after sealant application, which can typically be resolved with a flavored beverage. There's no need for your child to delay eating, as the sealants are already hardened. However, it's important for them to avoid sticky candies, ice chips, and hard objects like gum, taffy, and jawbreakers on an ongoing basis. Rest assured that your child's sealants will be examined during all of their routine dental check-ups.
