A thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth can prevent decay in the pits and fissures.
Sealants are easy for your dentist to apply. The sealant is painted onto the tooth enamel, where it bonds directly to the tooth and hardens. This plastic resin bonds into the depressions and grooves (pits and fissures) of the chewing surfaces of back teeth. The sealant acts as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids.

"Brushing and flossing go a long way to protecting your teeth against cavities but sealants form an extra barrier between cavity-causing bacteria and your child's teeth. School-age children without sealants have almost three times more cavities than children with sealants. According to the Centers for Disease Control and ADAs Center for Evidence-Based Dentistry sealants have been shown to reduce the risk of decay by nearly 80% in molars." - @americandentalassociation ... ... #baby #firsttimemom
Prevent Cavities. Ask your dentist about dental sealants and fluoride applications to protect your child's teeth.
Sometimes your toothbrush can't reach the deeper ends of the pits and grooves of your teeth, leading to cavities despite great home care and a health diet. Sealants can help prevent this from happening.
Dental sealants are a plastic coating that is incredibly thin and brushed onto the chewing surfaces of the molars or back teeth.
