Sealants are a resin material that are applied to mostly molar teeth in the back of our mouths.
They dramatically reduce the number of cavities. Since the molar teeth have deep grooves on the biting surfaces it is easy for food and bacteria to get trapped there and start to develop cavities. The sealants, which are applied without any drilling or novocaine, actually seal out anything from entering the grooves. With minimal care they will last for years and cost a fraction of what a filling would cost.
