The quick answer
A dental sealant is a protective coating on a back tooth’s chewing surface. It helps protect grooves that can be difficult to clean.
Where sealants fit into cavity prevention
Back teeth have uneven chewing surfaces where food and bacteria can collect. Sealants provide an additional barrier on those surfaces. They support dental cavity prevention but do not replace brushing and cleaning between teeth. Children and adults may benefit when the dentist considers them suitable.
The pit and fissure sealant process
The dentist cleans and dries the tooth, prepares the surface with a gel, then rinses and dries it again. Sealant is applied to the grooves and hardened with a curing light. Ask which teeth are being considered and what the assessment found before proceeding.
Check-ups after application
The dentist checks the coating at later visits and may reapply it when needed. A sealant can be considered for some early areas of decay, but an examination is needed; it is not a replacement for every filling.
