Dental sealants are an effective preventive treatment designed to protect teeth from decay. They are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars), where most cavities form. Sealants act as a barrier against food particles and bacteria, making it easier to maintain oral health, especially in children.
Sealants are made of a safe, durable plastic material that bonds to the grooves and pits of teeth. These grooves are often hard to clean with a toothbrush, and plaque buildup in these areas can lead to cavities. By applying sealants, the surface becomes smoother, and food particles are less likely to get trapped, reducing the risk of decay.
While sealants are most commonly recommended for children and teenagers, adults with no decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit. Sealants are often applied as soon as the permanent molars come in, which typically occurs around the ages of 6 and 12.
