Sealants

SEALANTS

Sealants are a preventative dental service used to cover the deep pits and fissures in permanent molars to prevent decay. Sealants are primarily placed on permanent molars as they erupt in a child’s mouth. They are maintained throughout childhood and can last into adulthood. Sealants are a flowable resin that is applied to the deep pits and fissures of teeth, protecting the teeth from harmful acids and plaque buildup commonly found in the mouth. The application of sealants is a simple procedure requiring only a short visit to our office.
