Dental sealants are thin coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, mainly the molars. They aim to protect your teeth from cavities and decay by forming a barrier that blocks germs and food particles. By preventing cavities, sealants can help you avoid more costly and involved dental procedures such as fillings.
Getting sealants is a quick and painless procedure. Your dentist will paint the sealant onto your teeth, then harden and bond to the surface. With proper care, sealants can last several years, providing long-lasting protection for your teeth.
