Sealants are safe, painless, and take only minutes for a dental professional to apply.
Teeth are brushed clean and sealants are painted onto the teeth. No drilling or anesthesia is required. Sealants are slippery and make it harder for plaque that causes decay to stick in the pits and grooves of molars. Sealants are an economical preventive measure to keep teeth healthy for years. All children with permanent molars should have access to sealants.
