Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings placed on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth - usually the molars and premolars.

Dental sealants help block out those cavity-causing substances before they can do damage.

When a tooth starts to hurt, it’s tempting to wait and hope the pain fades on its own. Life gets busy, discomfort comes and goes, and dental visits are easy to postpone.
