Answer:

The correct answer is Sealant.

Step-by-step explanation:

To have healthy molars it is necessary to take good care and cleaning of teeth. The problem that occurs with molars is that they are teeth where food debris usually accumulates and it may be that the ways in which we clean them are not enough to remove such dirt.

As a way to reinforce brushing and flossing, sealant is used. This is a thin film applied in healthy molars that prevents cavities from forming and acts in conjunction with the other cleaning methods.

Given this information, we can say that the correct answer is Sealant.
