Yes, sealants are beneficial to teeth in that they prevent tooth decay. Sealants prevent bacteria and food from getting into the grooves of your teeth in the back of your mouth. The protective shield is safe and successfully prevents cavities.
When trapped food particles combine with the mouth’s natural cavity-causing bacteria, an acid produces that can cause holes in teeth (AKA cavities). Sealants work as a barrier to keep food from getting stuck in hard to reach places on teeth so that cavities never have a chance to form.
In the long run, you’ll save time and money with sealants because they safely and effectively protect teeth from tooth decay and costly dental repairs. They’re painless and quick and easy to apply!
