Pit & Fissure Protection for Children
Back molars have deep grooves that are prone to cavities. Sealants protect these surfaces with a simple, effective coating applied in minutes.
Top Benefits
Seal the Risk Away
Children’s molars have natural grooves where food and bacteria collect. Sealing them early helps prevent 80% of decay cases in school-age kids.
- Blocks food debris
- Reduces decay risk
- Shields erupting molars
Simple Steps
How We Apply Sealants to Kids’ Molars
Sealants are best applied just after permanent molars erupt — around ages 6 and 12. The process is painless and takes just a few minutes:
The tooth surface is gently cleaned and dried
A bonding solution is applied to the molar grooves
The liquid sealant is placed and hardened with a curing light
Sealants act like armor, locking out bacteria and food from getting into hard-to-clean areas.

Ideally at age 6 and again at 12, just after the permanent molars come in.
How long does the sealant last?
Sealants can last several years, especially with regular dental checkups to ensure retention.
