What are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars). The sealant material flows into the deep grooves and pits of these teeth, creating a smooth, protective barrier that prevents food particles and bacteria from getting trapped and causing cavities.
