Fissure Sealants
Why Fissure Sealants Are Great for Your Child’s Dental Health
As a parent, you want to ensure your child’s teeth stay healthy and strong as they grow.
Fissure sealants offer a simple yet highly effective way to protect your child’s teeth from cavities, especially during their most cavity-prone years.
What Are Fissure Sealants?
Fissure sealants are a protective, tooth-coloured coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your child’s back teeth (molars). These teeth have deep grooves, known as fissures, that can trap food particles and bacteria, leading to decay. Sealants act as a barrier, covering these grooves and making it easier to keep the teeth clean.
The Benefits of Fissure Sealants for Children
- Cavity Prevention: Fissure sealants provide an extra layer of protection against cavities, especially on molars, where decay is most common in children. By sealing off these vulnerable areas, sealants help prevent food and plaque from getting trapped in the deep grooves.
- Safe and Painless Application: Applying fissure sealants is a quick and painless process. There’s no need for drilling or anesthesia—your child’s teeth are simply cleaned, dried, and the sealant is painted on and hardened with a special light.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Sealants are durable and can last for several years with proper care, providing long-term protection during the critical years when children are developing their brushing habits.
