Sealants can help protect teeth such as molars or the back teeth that are vulnerable to dental decay. These teeth are more prone to decay because of the difficulty in cleaning them. Sealants form as a barrier between teeth and bacteria growth thus preventing tooth decay. Sealants are invisible and are made of plastic resin. Sealants are also painless because tooth enamel does not contain any nerves. Because of the likelihood of development of decay in the depressions and grooves or simply put, the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. Dental sealants are commonly suggested for young children and adults and they do last for many years. However, it is crucial to periodically check for signs of cracks, damage, or wear to the material.
