Sealants are to a kind of glaze that fills the pits and fissures of the tooth surface and, once inserted, it solidifies.
The dentist applies in the dental office and are often applied to the chewing side of the molars and premolars.
They are important because they protect the fissures and pits of teeth, forming a film and preventing them from entering food debris. As a result, prevent bacteria and tooth decay.

This is where sealants have an invaluable role to protect our teeth.
