Tooth Decay and Gum Disease

Plastic sealants applied to baby and permanent teeth can prevent 50 percent of tooth decay that affects children and adolescents.

According to a special panel convened by the National Institutes of Health, protective sealants should be painted on children's teeth between the ages of 2 and 4 and then again on permanent teeth starting at age 6.

Such coatings are found to protect food-chewing and griding surfaces of teeth. Made of synthetic resins that harden into a tough coating, sealants usually last for at least five years and are aimed at supplementing fluoridation techniques that protect smooth surfaces of teeth.

Although fluoridation has helped cut tooth decay by one third between 1971 and 1980, the average American by age 16 has 10 teeth that have decayed, have been filled or have been extracted.
