Sealants are a protective layer of paint-like material that is placed on teeth. The material is usually placed on the chewing surface due to the grooves and valleys found there. These tend to act as traps and are the areas which are the most difficult to keep clean. Sealants will only protect the surface on which they are applied. Proper brushing and flossing are still necessary.

Sealants are plastic restorations that are placed on back teeth to act as a barrier to protect the decay-prone areas of teeth from plaque and acid to reduce or eliminate decay.

Sealants protect the surfaces of teeth with grooves and pits, especially the chewing surfaces of back teeth where most cavities are found. Made of shaded, tooth colored plastic, sealants are applied to the teeth to help keep them cavity-free.

Sealants are a safe and painless way or protecting your teeth from decay. A sealant is a protective plastic coating, which is applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay.
