What are sealants? In some children the grinding or biting surfaces of teeth tend to have very deep pits and grooves which allows the build-up of food and microbes. These teeth can be treated with sealants to protect the surface and prevent acid production, from the food and bacteria, from starting the decay process. These are called pit and fissure sealants.
