What To Expect
The back molars carry the deepest grooves and the heaviest workload, nearly impossible to clean completely, even with good habits. Sealants are thin, tooth-colored coatings that seal out food and bacteria before decay takes hold. Most common for children and teens, though adults without existing decay can benefit too.
