Dental Sealant Program | Oral Health | Health & Senior Services

The Missouri Dental Sealant Program was initiated in 2016 using funds from the Delta Dental Foundation of Missouri. Dental sealants are a proven and effective way to prevent tooth decay. Sealants are thin plastic coatings that are applied to molar (or back) teeth, where most decay occurs in children. Sealants reduce the need for fillings or more expensive dental treatments. Email us or call us at 800-891-7415 to find out more about dental sealants and Missouri’s new Dental Sealant Program!
