Dental Sealants are usually plastic coatings, used to protect premolars and molars from decay(permanent back teeth). They are usually placed on the rough chewing surface and hence keep bacterias and acids away from teeth.

While brushing and flossing daily may be helpful in cleaning your teeth which are vulnerable, but they are not able to clean the grooves of your teeth rigorously which later results in the decay of teeth. Fluoride mouthwashes may also be helpful, complemented with dental sealants can give your precious teeth an additional layer of protection from decaying acids, and bacterias.
