What are dental sealants and why are they used?
Sealants are clear or shaded resin material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth to help keep them cavity-free. Sealants fill in the grooved and pitted surfaces of the teeth, which are difficult to clean well and shuts out food particles that could get caught in the teeth, causing cavities. Fast and comfortable to apply, sealants can effectively protect teeth for many years.
