Sealants

Sealants are used to protect the decay-prone areas (grooves, pits and fissures) of permanent back teeth, and are possibly the best preventive care measures that we can provide your child. Studies show that sealants can reduce caries in these permanent teeth by 70 – 80%. Sealants are easily applied and are quite durable, so ask Dr. Geshay or his staff team if your child can benefit from sealants.  Ideally, we recommend protective non-invasive sealants for permanent 6 and 12 year molars.  In patients with a high risk of decay, it is a good practice to also seal the permanent premolars.
