Dental sealants are a powerful method to prevent tooth decay.
A sealant is a clear or tooth-colored resin material. It can be applied to the chewing surface of the teeth in just one comfortable visit.
Our dentists often recommend sealants for children as soon as their permanent molars come in, usually between 6 and 12 years of age. We also recommend sealants for adults whose teeth are prone to decay. By coating the pitted, grooved surface of the tooth where bacteria and food particles hide, dental sealants protect teeth from decay.
