What Are Dental Sealants?

Think of dental sealants as a protective raincoat for your child’s teeth. They are thin, plastic coatings painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars).

These back teeth have deep grooves and pits where food particles and plaque easily get trapped—areas that toothbrush bristles often can’t reach. Sealants “seal out” these cavity-causing culprits, creating a smooth surface that is easy to keep clean.
