Your child’s molars play a vital role in chewing and are especially vulnerable to cavities because of their deep grooves. Protecting them starts with brushing twice a day using fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, limiting sugary snacks, and scheduling regular dental checkups. Dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection by sealing the grooves where food and bacteria collect, helping prevent cavities for years. Applying sealants soon after permanent molars erupt offers the greatest benefit.
