Who Should Get Pit & Fissure Sealants?

Sealants are beneficial for anyone prone to tooth decay, but they’re especially important for children and young adults. The deep grooves in molars can trap plaque even with regular brushing. Applying sealants at the right time helps protect these teeth before cavities form.

✔

Children — as soon as permanent molars erupt (ages 6–12)

✔

Teens — to protect new adult teeth from decay

✔

Adults — with deep grooves or recurring cavities

✔

Patients — with weak enamel or dry-mouth issues
