Dental sealants can be applied to both baby and adult teeth, and are most effective when applied early. They can prevent up to 80% of cavities for two years, and continue to protect against 50% of cavities for up to four years.
Sealants can't be placed on teeth that already have decay or fillings, and if they aren't placed properly, they can trap bacteria and cause cavities.
