How long do sealants last on teeth?

They often last quite a long time, but should be checked at your regular checkup appointments.
If done properly and well, sealants can last anywhere between 2 and 5 years. Over time, they will wear out and/or fall out.
There is no set age for sealants. It depends on the food habits and hygiene of the patient.
They will last for many years if done properly. They should be applied as soon as permanent teeth have erupted in the mouth.
