It is recommended that children get sealants as soon as their permanent molars start to come in, even before decay occurs. This will usually start around six years old. Second molars usually come in at age twelve. These are the perfect time when children can highly benefit from this technology.
Adults on the other hand, can also take advantage of this protection by sealing in the areas of their teeth that has not yet been filled or restored. These may last ten years long. However, it may need to be regularly checked to make sure that they are not worn or chipped away. If it is needed, the dental hygienist or dentist can repair it by adding more layers of sealants.
