What are Sealants and does Dr. Caldwell recommend them?
Yes. Dr. Caldwell recommends sealants on permanent molars only. These teeth erupt around the ages of 6 and 12 years of age. Sealants are a clear or tinted plastic material that is applied to the chewing surface of molars. This helps keep food particles and plaque from forming in the pits and fissures of these teeth, protecting them from potential decay.
