Sealant

A dental sealant is a thin, protective coating made from plastic or other dental materials that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (premolars and molars). This treatment is short, painless, and beneficial for children and teenagers who are at higher risk of tooth decay, but it can also be useful for adults in certain situations. Here’s why sealants are recommended for a child’s tooth:

Purpose and Benefits

Prevention of Decay:

The primary purpose of a sealant is to prevent tooth decay. The chewing surfaces of the back teeth have grooves that are difficult to clean, even with thorough brushing. These crevasses can become breeding grounds for bacteria and can lead to cavities. Sealants fill in these grooves, creating a smoother surface that is easier to clean and more resistant to the accumulation of plaque and bacteria.

Long-Term Savings:

By preventing cavities and tooth decay, sealants can help avoid the need for more costly dental treatments in the future, such as fillings, crowns, or root canals.
