What is the most effective method to decrease occlusal decay in school-age children?

Brushing
Flossing
Sealants
Fluoride treatments

The correct answer is: Sealants

Sealants are the most effective method to decrease occlusal decay in school-age children because they act as a physical barrier, covering the pits and fissures of the teeth where decay commonly starts. Sealants protect the tooth surface from plaque and food accumulation, reducing the risk of decay. While brushing, flossing, and fluoride treatments are essential components of a good oral hygiene routine, sealants specifically target and protect vulnerable areas of the teeth, making them the most effective method for preventing occlusal decay in children.
