Dental Sealants
Seal out decay before it starts.
Dental sealants are a fast, effective way to protect the chewing surfaces of molars—where cavities are most likely to form. Applied as a thin, clear coating, sealants fill in deep grooves and prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck. They’re most commonly used in children but can benefit adults as well.
