Dental sealant treatment has the benefits of reducing cavities and associated pain and dental costs. 60 percent of children do not have dental sealants.

  • The dental sealants have been shown to prevent cavities by up to 80 percent over a period of 2 years.
  • School-based sealant programs have been lauded for their ability to reach kids from low income families who are less likely to get dental care services.
