Dental sealants are a great preventative tool. When you child is around the ages of 6 and 12 years old they will get their permanent molars. These teeth have deep grooves on the biting surface. The sealants material is placed into those groove to prevent food and bacterial from decay on the tooth surface. While dental sealants can last for years your child biting habit may cause them to wear away sooner. The dentist will check them at each visit to make sure they are still doing what they were intended to do.
