Seal Out Decay

A sealant is a clear or shaded plastic material that is applied to the chewing surfaces (grooves) of the back teeth (premolars and molars of mainly permanent teeth), where four out of five cavities in children are found. This sealant acts as a barrier to food, plaque and acid, thus protecting the decay-prone areas of the teeth.

Baby teeth usually do not need to be sealed being that their anatomy is not as deep and does not collect plaque like permanent teeth.
