Why It Matters
Sealants protect the chewing surfaces of molars — where most childhood cavities start — typically applied as permanent molars come in around age 6 and 12. Fluoride strengthens enamel at every age. AAPD recommends cleanings roughly every six months, adjusted to each child's risk level.
