Details.
Thin, tooth-colored resin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to block food particles, plaque, and bacteria from settling into grooves. The painless process includes cleaning, drying, preparation, application, and curing with a blue light. Children can eat or drink immediately after the appointment. Most effective for permanent molars soon after they erupt, usually between ages 6 and 12, and may also be recommended for some baby teeth.
