What Are Sealants?
Dentist Hoover
Sealants are a preventive dental treatment designed to shield the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars from decay. These teeth are especially prone to cavities due to their deep grooves and crevices where food particles and plaque can accumulate. At Knox Square Dental, sealants are applied as a liquid solution that hardens into a protective coating, creating a barrier against plaque and acids. While sealants are commonly applied to children when their permanent molars and premolars emerge, adults with healthy teeth can also benefit from this protective treatment.
