What are dental sealants and how do they work?

Sealants are clear or shaded plastic applied to the teeth to help keep them cavity-free. Sealants fill in the grooved and pitted surfaces of the teeth, which are hard to clean, and shut out food particles that could get caught, causing cavities. Fast and comfortable to apply, sealants can effectively protect teeth for many years.

At Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry, we only use BPA free sealants. The sealant material that we use is 3M Clinpro as stated by the manufacturer is BPA free.
