Dental sealants are a protective coating that can be applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth to help prevent cavities. They are a safe and effective way to protect your teeth from decay and are often recommended for children and teens, although adults can benefit from them as well.The sealant fills in the grooves and pits of your teeth, creating a smooth surface that is easy to clean and less likely to trap food particles and bacteria.
Dental sealants are made of a plastic material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars and premolars..Dental sealants are most commonly recommended for children and teens, as their developing teeth are more susceptible to decay. However, adults who are prone to cavities or have deep grooves in their teeth may also benefit from dental sealants.
