Pit & Fissure Sealants

Sealants are a safe, painless way to protect your child’s teeth from decay.
These pit and fissure sealants are made of a durable resin material that is applied to the deep, narrow grooves on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.

Sealants create a protective barrier that prevents food and bacteria from accumulating in the tiny grooves of the back teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and tooth decay.

Sealants are typically applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, including both primary (baby) molars and permanent molars and premolars. Some back teeth naturally have deeper pits and grooves, which are more prone to decay, making it important to seal them for added protection.

The procedure is quick and painless—there’s no drilling or filling involved, just a simple sealing of the deep grooves. First, the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and treated with a special solution. Then, it is dried, and the sealant is applied. The sealant is set in place using a special light device, ensuring a secure and lasting protective layer.
