Wow, I've never heard of this option before. What are the potential drawbacks?

  Primarily just limitations - only applies to chewing surfaces, not sides or between teeth, and can only be applied to non-filled healthy teeth. Approx 5-year lifespan, should be checked at regular dentist visits. http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/dental-sealants http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/dental-sealants

  One reason I've heard is, that it;s still possible to get caries below the the sealing but the dentist (or you yourself) won't be able to see it by a purely visual inspection. At least here (Germany) you won't get an x-ray at every checkup.
