Sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can’t reach.
Dental pit and fissure sealants play a huge role in preventing the formation of decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth. Applying a sealant is a simple procedure in which a tooth-coloured acrylic “coating” is painted onto the grooves of the tooth. This effectively “seals” the deep grooves, making the teeth smoother and less likely to trap food and plaque. Also, the sealant acts as a barrier to protect enamel from plaque and acids.
