Dental sealants are tooth-colored coatings that help protect cavity-prone grooves on chewing teeth.
They seal deep grooves and help protect enamel from food particles, plaque, and acids that brushing and flossing may not reach.
Easy to apply, dental sealants take only a few minutes to seal each tooth. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed.
Children and adults can benefit from dental sealants in the fight against tooth decay.
