Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, premolars, and teeth with deep grooves (pits and fissures). Over 75% of cavities begin in these hard-to-clean grooves. Sealants create a smooth surface, protecting teeth from decay.
Sealants can last for years but should be checked regularly for wear or chipping during dental visits.
Good oral care, a balanced diet, and regular dental checkups will help extend the life of your sealants.
