However, there are exceptions to this and can sometimes be placed on younger children or even adults. The dentist may recommend more in the future. Sealants can commonly chip and need replacements as well. 2) Some people have hesitations about dental sealants and may consider having them removed/replaced if possible. If that is the case, this course can help you look at both conventional and natural approaches to sealants and see both sides of the story!
