The back teeth are particularly susceptible to decay. Dental sealants provide a way to protect these teeth and reduce the chances of tooth decay. Our dentist uses a thick resin material that coats the surface and back of the tooth (corners and crevices are potentially very difficult areas for a toothbrush). Ultimately, this “sealant” can restore years of maximum dental protection from cavities and reduce the need for dental fillings later on. Dental sealants have proven to be very beneficial for many patients, especially children.
