Sealants
Protective coatings on the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay, for kids and adults.
A thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent decay.
The tooth is cleaned and dried, the sealant material is brushed on, and a curing light hardens it into a smooth, durable barrier.
Sealants block food and bacteria from settling into the deep grooves of back teeth, where most cavities start. They are especially effective for children and teens.
