You know how they seal kids teeth, and insurance covers it? It basically keeps kids from getting cavities until the sealant eventually wears off. Well, they could put the same sealant on adults. But they don’t.

Almost all children in USA get sealants as a preventative measure, in my experience.

I wonder if we do this in Canada. I've never heard of it.
