The best time to prevent tooth decay is before it starts, and one of the best tools to do this are dental sealants. Sealants help prevent tooth decay filling in the grooves on the chewing surface of teeth.  This prevents bacteria from living in the grooves and  greatly reduces the risk of tooth decay on the sealed surface of the tooth. Sealants can be especially helpful for kids as they continue to improve oral care habits.

The placement of sealants typically does not involve any numbing or drilling and can be completed quickly. Yes, it is that easy!
