Sealants are a great way to protect your back teeth (molars) against tooth decay and cavities. The molars are most vulnerable to cavities and decay because they are used in the chewing process, and are the most difficult to reach and clean. Molars first come in at around 5 to 7 years of age, with a second set coming in between the ages of 11 to 14. It is best to have a sealant treatment when molars first come in to ensure they are protected.
To place a sealant, an adhesive is first applied to the teeth. The sealant is then placed over the adhesive as a liquid, as if it is painted right onto the tooth. The liquid then hardens and creates a barrier between your tooth and any plaque, food particles and bacteria. Sealants last for about 10 years and can be reapplied if necessary.
