What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a simple, preventive treatment designed to protect teeth from cavities. A thin, protective coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where deep grooves can trap food particles and bacteria. Sealants create a smooth barrier that makes these areas easier to clean and significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay. Although sealants are commonly recommended for children and teenagers, adults with healthy molars can also benefit from this effective preventive treatment. The procedure is quick, painless, and can often be completed in just one visit.
