Dental Sealants (Protective Coatings)
Dental sealants are a thin, resin coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the
back teeth, where tooth decay often occurs. This protective barrier helps to keep food
and bacteria from getting trapped in the grooves and pits of the teeth. Dental sealants
are a quick and painless procedure that can be completed during a regular dental visit.
They can last for several years and are an affordable way to prevent tooth decay and
reduce the need for fillings and other more invasive treatments.
