Teeth can come in many different shapes and sizes, and the further back they are the harder it is to properly clean. Sealants function as a invisible shield that coats the grooves of the teeth helping to prevent cavities and decay.

What is the Sealant?
A Dental sealant is a thin, resin coating that protects healthy teeth from bacteria. It is most often used on the rear molars, which have the deepest grooves and thus, the most potential for plaque accumulation. Dental sealants are a great procedure for preventative care, particularly children to protect their teeth earlier.
