I had it done in the USA in the 90s when I had my adult teeth, not sure if it was before or after I got my 12 year molars. I asked about it a few years ago and the dentist said that insurance only covers it for kids.

    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
