Yes and no. There is a procedure called sealants which plastic is put over the grooves on the molars to prevent decay on children. This works for the type of decay mainly on the biting surface (and some on the front) of the teeth. The type of decay children between age 6-12 usually get. There is no type of protective layer which is to prevent the decay from between the teeth with is the type of decay adults usually get.
