Why is tooth sealant only for children?

Sealants are placed on children's permanent back teeth soon after they come into the mouth because they are most at risk for decay at that time. Once a cavity has occurred in a tooth, it must be filled. It cannot be sealed. Also a tooth that has been filled cannot be sealed. If a person reaches adulthood without getting a cavity in a particular tooth, the likelihood of getting one is substantially reduced, and the benefit of sealing the tooth is very minimal. Adults can have their teeth sealed, but the expense far outweighs the benefit.

Can tooth decay be genetic?

While it is not true that if your parents have a lot of decay, you will also have a lot of decay, it is true that there is a genetic predisposition to tooth decay. This simply means that you may have to work harder to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent tooth decay. Tooth decay is primarily a function of poor oral hygiene. Keep you mouth adequately clean, see your dentist and hygienist frequently, follow their advice, and you will likely experience less tooth decay.
