What are Dental Sealants?

Dental sealants are a type of preventative dental care. They are usually applied to the back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. The sealant is a thin, clear coating that is applied to the tooth enamel. It works by creating a barrier that prevents food and bacteria from getting into the tiny crevices on the tooth surface. Sealants can last for several years and are an effective way to reduce the risk of cavities.

Dental sealants are usually associated with children, but there’s no reason why adults can’t also benefit from this type of dental treatment. They are often used on children’s teeth because they are more likely to develop cavities, but adults can also be at risk for dental problems. Sealants can also help to make brushing and flossing easier, which can further reduce the risk of cavities.
