Ans : The chewing surfaces of teeth are the most susceptible to cavities and usually benefit the least from fluoride. A sealant is a clear or white plastic material that is designed to fill-in these unprotected grooves on the teeth. Therefore, they can be used as a protective coating and can be applied to these areas to help serve as a barrier to prevent decay.
