The American Dental Association recommends sealants be placed as soon as the first adult teeth come in at age 6 or 7. Sealants should continue to be used as each adult back tooth comes into the mouth. All back teeth that need to be sealed are present by age 13.  Sealant application is simple, fast, painless, and cost-effective.
