Dental sealants have long been used by family and pediatric dentists as an effective preventive measure for children who are naturally more prone to tooth decay as their teeth are still developing. As it turns out, parents as well as children can benefit from having sealants applied over the chewing surface of their rear molars. The plastic coating sealant is brushed onto the tooth where it will bond to protect against leftover food debris and the bacterial plaque that can cause tooth decay.
