If you made it to 24 with no fillings in your teeth, congratulations! You may elect to have sealants placed if you have deep grooves in the occlusal surface of your teeth or eat a diet high in carbohydrates and or sugar. Sealants need to be placed properly in a dry environment etc. They will not prevent inter proximal decay.
Sealants are a wonderful preventive measure to prevent cavities.
Not all. They are very beneficial, especially if you are prone to cavities
Sealants are a noninvasive procedure place on permanent molars of preteens to help prevent caries on the biting surfaces when those surfaces have deep pits and fissures, making them more susceptible to decay. No.
Hi,
Sealants are not necessarily bad for your teeth. However, they require the proper application and steps to ensure that bacteria isn’t trapped under. Sealants got a bad rap due to concealing decay under till the tooth blew out. However, if the teeth are cavity free and a pumice polish done prior to placing sealants with proper control of moisture, sealants work well.
Hope this helps.

Dental sealant are typically placed in young children on the newly erupting teeth.It is an excellent preventive procedure and is painless.
IT is good because it is preventing cavities from forming in the center of the teeth.
Intact sealants are very good and protective for teeth. If part of the sealant has worn away or chipped, that can leave voids that are hard to clean, which would be bad. Today's sealants are made from safe BPA free materials.
No, sealants are not harmful, there is no drilling just a thin layer is placed on the biting surface of the teeth to cover the normal anatomy (pits & fissures) to protect against cavities. Usually placed only on molars. If you are 24 & have no cavities, there is no need to place sealants @ your age.
Not at all. Adults as well as children are encouraged to have them if they have deep grooves in their teeth. Sealants are placed without any destruction to the teeth and prevent decay.
Sealants are not bad for your teeth but are typically used to prevent cavities in the pits and fishers on the molars of a child.
No they are not bad for your teeth. They help prevent decay. They can help you but not harm you,
