DENTAL SEALANTS

What are dental sealants and how do they help?
Put simply, dental sealants protect the natural grooves and fissures of your molars from the accumulation of bacteria which can cause decay.

Children benefit from dental sealants. When permanent molars erupt, they have newly exposed, hard-to-clean fissures and grooves where bacteria can collect and produce the acids that cause dental decay. Dental sealants offer a protective shield for those areas.
