What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your teeth. These areas often have deep grooves and pits that are difficult to clean with regular brushing and flossing, making them more susceptible to plaque buildup and decay. The sealant acts as a shield, preventing food particles and bacteria from settling in these hard-to-reach areas.
