Dental sealants
Sealants provide an extra layer of protection for the deep grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. These areas can be difficult to clean thoroughly, especially for younger patients who are still developing strong brushing habits. By smoothing the surface, sealants help prevent food and bacteria from settling in hard-to-reach places.
They’re most commonly recommended for children and teens, but some adults with cavity-prone molars may benefit as well. The goal is simple: support long-term oral health with a comfortable, preventive option.
Why they help
Sealants are common for kids, but adults benefit too. If you’ve got deep grooves in your teeth or you’re prone to cavities, this is a simple extra layer of protection.
