Dental Benefit – Sealants
What is Dental Sealant?
Dental sealants are protective coatings made up of tinted or transparent plastic. Sealants are applied to the chewing areas of the back teeth, where the possibility of cavity formation is higher than in other regions of the teeth. Sealants are used on children’s teeth to prevent cavities at an early age. They are effective in function and affordable and are normally covered by dental insurance as a preventive treatment. Dental sealants cost much less than the amount spent on filling due to cavities.
