Our teeth have pits and fissures and are usually deeper in children.  To prevent food from being stuck in these areas, sealants are used to prevent bacteria from building up and promote tooth decay and cavities. Sealants prove to be effective and can save a lot of money in the future.  If teeth are healthy and free from decay and cavities, crowns bridges and other dentures may never be an option in the future.
