What do they use for sealing? I’m swiss and we don’t do this. Is it because you have corn sirup everywhere?

edit: so, uh, is this widespread?

They call them “dental sealants.”

Here’s a government website about it: https://www.nidcr.nih.gov/health-info/dental-sealants

I don’t know enough on this to comment. Before today, I admittedly didn’t consider that countries like Switzerland didn’t use them…

I have no idea. It’s white and it cures hard with exposure to UV light. It might just be filling media used as a surface sealant—not a dentist, sorry.
