Pits & Fissures sealant

About the service

Pits and fissure sealants are a fantastic preventive measure that helps protect the deep grooves of children’s teeth—especially molars—from cavities. These tiny grooves are often difficult to clean thoroughly with regular brushing, making them a common area for plaque and food particles to accumulate, leading to tooth decay.

 
How Sealants Protect Children’s Teeth

Sealants are a thin, protective coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. The sealant quickly bonds into the grooves, creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean and more resistant to decay. This treatment is particularly effective for children whose permanent molars have just come in, as these teeth are most vulnerable to cavities.

A Quick and Painless Procedure

Applying sealants is quick, non-invasive, and completely painless. After cleaning the tooth, our dental team applies the sealant, which hardens within seconds. The protective barrier can last for several years, giving your child’s teeth a strong defense during the critical years of their development. With sealants in place, you can feel confident that your child’s teeth are better protected from cavities.
