Worth it to put protective coatings on kids’ teeth?

My dentist brought up these clear coatings for my 4-year-old’s molars, supposed to help prevent cavities. I’m kinda torn—are they really necessary at this age? Did anyone notice fewer dental issues after getting them?

I get the idea of sealants as a backup, but I’m not totally convinced they’re always worth it. If they chip or wear off and you don’t notice, isn’t that kind of risky? I wonder if just focusing on brushing and diet is enough sometimes.
