Information on Sealants
Dental sealants have proven most useful when applied to the growing teeth of children. They can reduce pit and fissure caries by 71%. Sealants can help to prevent unwanted cavities that are drawn to immature, developing teeth. Sealants do require maintenance and a dry field (no saliva on teeth) for successful placement.
