dental sealant
Cavity prevention layer
A dental sealant is a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent decay.
The plastic material fills the grooves and pits where food particles and bacteria collect, creating a smooth surface that's easier to clean: The dentist recommended sealants for the children's molars.
