Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a dental procedure to help prevent tooth decay. On their biting surfaces teeth have pits and grooves that have a higher chance of getting tooth decay. Food and bacteria get stuck in these areas and it is hard to remove.

Dental sealants are materials placed in these pits and grooves to make them easier to clean. Sealants are used in children with a higher risk of tooth decay, and placed as soon as the adult molar teeth come through.
