What are dental sealants? How long do they last?
A sealant is a hardened plastic material that helps protect the grooves and pits on the chewing surface of the teeth from getting decayed. Sealants can last anywhere from one to five years depending on the patient's eating habits. Avoidance of sticky, sugary foods, which can "pull" at the sealants will help them last longer.
