Sealants

A dental sealant is a tooth-colored or clear material that is applied to the back molars’ chewing surfaces, where tooth decay is most commonly found. A dental sealant is an effective preventive treatment because it covers the chewing surfaces and seals out germs and food that could cause decay. We recommend having dental sealants placed on the back molars around the age of 12, when they first erupt.
