The Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Community Preventive Services Task Force have all determined that school-based dental sealant programs are evidence-based best practices with strong evidence of effectiveness in preventing tooth decay among children.
