Fissure sealants

Fissure sealants

Fissure sealants protect permanent molars from cavities with a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the teeth.

Fissure sealing ishelpfulfor several reasons

  • Permanent molars often have deep grooves that make them more vulnerable to cavities.
  • It protects these areas from plaque and bacteria buildup.
  • It significantly reduces the risk of cavities from an early age.
  • It supports good long-term oral health in children.

Fissure sealants are recommended for children from around age 6, once the permanent molars have fully erupted.

Here are thestepsof fissure sealing

  1. Isolation

    The dentist places a dental dam, a silicone sheet that isolates the teeth, then cleans and dries the tooth to remove any trace of plaque or saliva.

  2. Application

    The coating is applied to the surface of the tooth, covering all the grooves, then hardened with a curing light to make it strong and durable.

  3. Finishing

    The dentist checks that all areas are fully covered, then adjusts the bite to prevent any discomfort when chewing.
