The chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) have deep grooves, known as pits and fissures. These areas are incredibly hard to clean, especially for children who are still learning to brush properly. Food particles and bacteria easily get trapped here, leading to cavities.
A dental sealant is a thin, protective coating made from medical-grade plastic or other dental materials. We paint this liquid coating onto the chewing surface, where it quickly bonds into the depressions and grooves, forming a protective shield over the enamel.
