What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars). These areas are especially prone to cavities because food and bacteria easily get trapped in the grooves.
Sealants act as a barrier, helping prevent plaque buildup and tooth decay.
Why Dental Sealants Are Important for Children
Children’s teeth are more vulnerable to cavities, especially when brushing habits are still developing.
Benefits of dental sealants include:
- Up to 80% reduction in cavity risk on treated teeth
- Protection during cavity-prone years
- Quick, painless application
- Long-lasting prevention (several years with proper care)
- Cost-effective preventive treatment
When Should Kids Get Dental Sealants?
Sealants are typically recommended when:
- Permanent molars erupt (around ages 6 and 12)
- A child has deep grooves in their teeth
- A child has a higher risk of cavities
