Thin coatings painted on the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars) to prevent decay and cavities. This protective shield blocks the activity of germs and food on teeth.
They may last for over nine to 10 years. However, they can fall off, so have them checked and replaced (if necessary) during dental visits. Missing sealants make teeth vulnerable to cavities.
Cavities are common among kids and teens. They can damage teeth and cause pain, infections, and eating, speaking, and learning difficulties. Get sealants for kids after their permanent molars have erupted (around age 6 for the first molars and 12 for the second).
