Baby Dental, Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, plastic films bonded to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) and are highly effective in the prevention of tooth decay. Dental sealants are particularly effective on the back teeth, as the back teeth contain more hard-to-reach pits and grooves that serve as a host to food debris and bacteria. Sealants are especially beneficial for children because their newly erupted, permanent teeth are most susceptible to cavities and least benefited by fluoride.
