Dental Sealants in fountain valley, ca

Dental sealants, which are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces designed to prevent the intrusion of bacteria and other debris into the deep crevices on the tops of your teeth.

The pits and grooves of your teeth are prime areas for opportunistic decay. Even regular brushing sometimes misses some of these intricate structures on the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
Sealants actually were developed about 50 years ago but didn't become commonly used until the 1970's. Today, sealants are becoming widely popular and effective; young children are great candidates for preventative measures like sealants because in many cases, decay has not set in. 
Even on teeth where decay is present, sealants have been shown to fight additional damage.
