Sealants are thin, plastic coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to protect them from tooth decay. Most tooth decay in children and teens occurs on these surfaces. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces by keeping germs and foods out of these grooves. Applying sealants does not require any drilling or removing any tooth structure. It is a quick and easy process that insures strong, healthy teeth for years to come.
