Sealant describes a coating applied to a tooth’s chewing surface. The purpose of a sealant is to resist tooth decay. Sealants may be applied to teeth when they have characteristics, such as pits, that make them more vulnerable to tooth decay.
Sealants are considered a form of preventive care to preserve good oral health.
Some dental insurance plans may have limitations on the coverage of sealants. For example, sealant may be limited to children under the age of 14 and sealant will only be covered once for each tooth.
